If there is one voice who sounds very close to the Sarangi.. its Asha! The tenacity in the way the 'bow / gaj' moves over the body of the Sarangi.. the same longing tenacious vibrations are seen aptly in Ashatai's voice..
And not one or two, she has a host of songs wherein the Sarangi and Asha have teamed up for a duet.. be it the lavish Sarangi pieces in the Umrao Jaan songs, or the subtle refrains in 'Balma Khuli Hawa..', be it in Navrang or Namkeen.. this association never fails to deliver!
One such song comes from the Sachin Dev Burman kitty and is drastically divided into two singing styles (easily mastered by the 'yo-woman' that she is!).. but whats characteristically striking is the sombre part in the song where Asha and Sarangi create heavenly magic.. the 'gamaks', 'meends' all result in an expression worth lauding!
