S.D. Burman
The Maestro of Simple Melodies and Profound Soul
I find heaven in a folk tune.
They call me a prince, but I listen to boatmen. They expect grandeur, I give them simplicity. My melodies are not built — they grow, like vines in the monsoon. I have sung for lovers, for wanderers, for those who ache and those who dream without knowing why. My voice may be rough, but the truth rarely wears silk.
What I'm Into: Bhatiali boat songs, the tanpura's hum, my son's jazz rebellion, Bombay rains, Lata's perfect pitch
