LATA MANGESHKAR - TAK TAK DHOOM DHOOM

Theatrical gem sung by Indian performer Lata Mangeshkar, one of the best-known playback singers for Indian film. If you've ever wondered about the mesmerizing vocals of Bollywood actors, look up playback singing.

Mangeshkar is also the singer of the moody lullaby Main Jugan Tu So Ja, featured on Mississippi Records Vol. 056. The elision between some of the phrases is especially beautiful. The title means "I will stay awake while you fall asleep;" there is really nothing better than knowing that someone is staying awake while you get to sleep and this song is as good as that feeling.

Both songs are featured in the 1957 Hindi film Do Aankhen Barah Haath (Two Eyes, Twelve Hands), featuring by Sandhya Shantaram.
