Mangeshkar’s oeuvre contains a spectrum of over 185 Bengali songs that include film and non-film modern (or adhunik) songs, and also Rabindra Sangeet. The bard’s songs are universally relatable and acknowledged, albeit rather stringent in their grammar, notational structure and emotive acceptability. In India, if classical music is held at the highest pedestal with its musicological poignancy, then closer home, our Rabindra Sangeet (songs of Rabindranath Tagore) occupies a very coveted place in national culture. Her voice not only strikes a chord in a million hearts by songs in Hindi or Marathi, her first language, the genius has a record of singing in over 36 languages national and international taken together, which also includes Swahili and Nepali. They say, music traverses beyond language, so does Mangeshkar. With a titanic presence in B-town music, she has also proved equal mettle in non-film ghazal, bhajan, khayal, devotionals, and every other kind that is worth a rendition as well.

I was full of it’-it makes perfect sense.īut it would be a cliché to consider Lata Mangeshkar thus, until we shed light on her versatility. So when she says, ‘It was not really the external influences that made me a singer. She helmed the plea for royalty for the playback singers, which till then would go to producer, composer or even the actor.īy virtue of being a prime and early example of women empowerment in the country and music industry, the Nightingale of India also becomes a face of many such unknown Indian women, who have been there and seen it all-been the bread-winner of a big family, and grown to a level to be the kingpin of India’s highest grossing film industry. This is not just for her magical voice, but also her unparalleled contribution in giving playback singers their due and credit. Reigning over the charts and hearts for about 70 years, there is no doubt that Mangeshkar is an institution in Bollywood. In India, she has achieved iconic status, and created everlasting music that has become the soundtrack to our lives.’ But beyond that, the fact that she is the only Asian to receive platinum disc from EMI, London, also speaks of her international standing. As one of her dear friends and biographer, Nasreen Munni Kabir writes in Lata Mangeshkar in her Own Voice, ‘Her songs have helped spread an appreciation of Hindi film music throughout the world.

We, thus, celebrate with a rather different take on this Bharat Ratna, who lights up India’s culture space. As she turns a year older, we look (forward) at her and be as mesmerized as antiquity has always been. Born on September 28, 1929, in Solapur, Maharashtra, in a Marathi family of linnets and larks-melodious parents and four younger siblings-Mangeshkar embodies a number of aspects that call for a revelatory analysis, at any point in time. Lata Mangeshkar, the name says it all-a name that epitomizes a number of paradigms and shifts, yesterday and today.
