India is believed to be a country of diversity. Indian music is a true reflection of the same diversity. The earliest of Indian music from the old Hindi movies were propagated by great ‘Ustads’ or masters of Hindustani ‘Sangeet’. This Hindustani Sangeet is a blend of Hindustani and Carnatic music that was popular in North and South India respectively.
The Ustads of old Hindi movies songs were Amir Khusrau, Noorjehan and Tansen, Saigal but as and when the styles and mood of the songs changed, the art of singing spread out to different people. This spread of music and songs created the current day legends of the Hindi movie songs. These legends are no one but the most popular and glorious artists of the Indian music industry like Lata Mangeshkar, AR Rahman, R D Burman and Jagdit Singh.
