Ek Pardesi Mera Dil Legaya (Instrumental)

Ek Pardesi Mera Dil Legaya ... Lyrics & Chords

I love to sing but I also enjoy playing keyboards, toying with different sounds, manipulating and creating sampled sounds and above all learn to mix with whatever stuff that I have accumulated over years.

I recorded a few instrumentals in 2008 and used Tabla/Dholak and Dhol samples for the Rhythm part and played various instruments for melody and interludes. People often ignore the interludes but they are as important as the vocals in giving the shape which a song eventually acquires. Some music directors were known to have given best interludes; R.D.Barman was one of them. Some interludes were so darn good that a new song could have been created just out of that.

Modern day technique is to use MIDI to place notes as accurately as desired, with lots of other automation which can now be accomplished by just one person in a studio. The major problem with using sampled tabla/dholak loops is to match the exact bols with the song. This can be done if you have a tabla player to help you out. Dhol however can not be recorded at home….very loud, but its sampled sounds can be used effectively, same as with Drums.

Hope you all enjoy the Dhols, which is my own idea to fit into this lovely oldie.

From Film: Phagan (1958)
Singers: Aasha/Rafi
Music: O.P.Nayyar
Lyrics: Were given by Qamar Jalalabadi

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow Naqvi Saab !
Toooooooooooooooooo good ! The interludes are really awesome. Wonderful creative use of Dholk. Just thought the theka for the line ‘Ek pardesi mera dil le gaya’ is of slower tempo than ‘jaate jaate meetha meetha……’ and that’s is why the song gives pleasure I suppose. I liked your creative approach towards use of taal on dhol. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr8 performance. loved n goes to my favs without saying.

Naqvi Sahab, iss recording ko sunate waqt main mehsoos kar sakta hoon ki aapko is pe perishram karne mein kitna anand aaya hoga!Bohot hi achi track banayi hai aapne! Iterludes mein aisa lag raha tha manon sab gana chodd ke nachne lage! Yadi avsar mile toh Nagin ki dhun bhi try kijiye!

Naqvi Sahab,

Amazing musical talent! You have the entire package. Excellent vocals – we already know that, highly superior sound engineering skills (I have personally been enriched) and absolutely perfect instrumental skills. You have left nothing to be desired. How much I wish I had a small percentage of some of this!

Enjoyed this entirely! Thank you for posting.

Eid Mubaarak, Naqviji!
Jabardast! Aur kyaa kahein? Naqviji, aap to bahot bade fankaar hain. Sur-taal ki itni samaz jise hai woh khud bhi bahot achhi tarz banaa sakta hai. Why not try an original composition?
Interlude ki baat aapne bahot sahi kahi. People do not notice but every interlude has a tune. the bridging of main melody and the interlude is an art in itself. Most of the times professional arrangers make the interludes after the MD makes main melody….
Laajawaab bajaayaa hai aapne. I loved the Dholak and the perfection in the timeline….
To fav’s!

Dear Adwait. Main yehi samjhta thaa ke MD shayad khud apne interludes tayyar karte honge….laikin aaj aapse pata chala ke Arranger log aisa kiya karte thaay. Magar haqeeqat hai kuch geet tu aise hain beghair exact intro aur interludes ke banda ga he nahi sakta….yani jahan woh khatum hote hain wahan se melody shuroo hoti hai. Bhai bohut shukriya aapne suna aur saraha.

Adwait Ranade (busy, away) Pro user said

Naqviji,
It’s not hard and fast rule of course.
Bahotse MDs kuchh gaanonke interludes aur music arrangement khud karte hain. In such songs we experience what you wrote. the song and the interlude become inseparable. One more thing that I find interesting in any song is to follow the rhythm. Watch where it stops, pauses or the instrument is changed…. I enjoyed that in your upload.
Tabla laggi in many songs are also amazing.

You truly are an accomplished and complete musician… like all these tips you’re sharing Naqvi ji. I’m only using iTablaPro here to get anything close to a tabla feel, but please enlighten on how you create these loops from scratch. We want to sing so many songs but tracks are terrible and the tabla quality is pretty bad. Really liked the dhols mixed with the tabla. Agree with all my knowledgeable friends above. :-)
