A THROW BACK TO 1947- HOW THE YEAR IMPACTED THE INDIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY?

“VANDE MĀTARAM SUJALĀ SUPHALĀ
MALAYAJAŚĪTALĀM ŚASYAŚYĀMALĀ

MĀTARAM VANDE MĀTARAM”

 

I BOW DOWN TO THEE, OH! MOTHERINDIA’

 

It was the year 1947. Indians were on a roller - coaster of emotions. The air was charged with excitement and hope, as they anticipated the end of BRITISH rule in INDIA.

 

The dynamic tapestry of India then were the horse-drawn carts and rickshaws, and the multicoloured streets lined with bustling market stalls, while the sea-breeze carried the scent of spices and also, the excitement of the people of India, who anticipated the end of the British rule.

 

The harmonious blend of cultures resonated through the distant rhythm of a sitar, and the clinking of the chai cups, painting a kaleidoscopic picture of a brave new INDIA.

 

The streets buzzed with discussions about Independence and the iconic leaders.  Amidst the chaos, a powerful sense of unity and determination emerged among Indians making a pivotal moment in history.

 

Now let’s go deeper into and see how this historic year left an impact on the rhythmic beats, and melodies that continue to exchange through the rich mosaic of Indian Music.

 

One of the biggest takeaways of 1947 was the first ever hit of a great young singer Shri Mohammed Rafi, and the debut of another great Indian singer ever Smt. Lata Mangeshkar, who ruled the Indian Music Industry for about six decades.

 

In 1947, the music Industry was a blend of excitement and uncertainty as artists and producers navigated post-war dynamics.  The Indian musicians channelled their emotions into soulful melodies and energetic rhythms, reflecting India’s hope and resilience.

 

Despite the challenges the industry brimmed with an era of camaraderie among artists, as their goal was one. They shared stories and emotions through their powerful songs, fostering a strong sense of community, National identity and National pride.  The superhit patriotic songs of that season were-

“VANDE-MATHARAM” - ‘I BOW TO THEE MOTHER’

“DOORE HATO AE DUNIYANWALON” -‘STEP ASIDE, O PEOPLE OF THE WORLD’

“AAO BACHCHE TUMHE DIKHAYE” -‘COME CHILDREN LET’S SHOW YOU’

“MERA RANG DE BASANTI CHOLA” -‘DYE MY ROBES IN THE COLOUR OF SPRING’

 

As technology advanced, the dawn of vinyl records and radio broadcasts heightened the emotional connection between music creators and their passionate listeners. These songs served as anthems of resistance and unity fostering a sense of togetherness among the masses.

 

The establishment of an Independent India brought greater visibility on the global stage, leading to a wider understanding of Indian music and its diverse forms.

 

The demand for Music Education and Institutions increased in the Post Independence era.   This led to the formalisation of Music Education and the nurturing of new generation of Musicians.  The Post Independence era saw the fusion of various musical styles and traditions.

 

SUMMATION

Thus, the year 1947 was a game changer for Indian Music!

With India gaining Independence, there was a surge of patriotic and socially conscious songs that ignited passion and unity.

 

This freedom vibe, inspired musicians to create iconic melodies that resonate till today.
