Popular singers with a hoarse voice


Mallika Lata Mangeshkar of sweet voice is called Kokilkanthi. He has many sweet singers like Noor Jahan, Geeta Dutt, Asha Bhonsle, Anuradha Podwal, Alka Yagnik, Sunidhi Chauhan. Apart from that, there are some singers in the Hindi film industry whose voice is not as sweet as Koyal's but they are nominated.

Who can forget the song 'Dum Maro Dum' sung by the talented singer Asha Bhonsle in the film 'Hare Ram Hare Krishna'. But in the same film, Usha Uthup's deep and slightly plump voice was also heard. The song 'Hari Om Hari' sung by Usha in the film 'Pyara Dushman' made her popular. He was brought to Hindi films by musician Bappi Lahiri. "I think Usha's voice is very nice," he said. Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle have sweet voices. But singers like Usha Utthup or Shweta Shetty have low alto and sapra. Which is quite innovative and refreshing.

Lahiri has given a chance to many singers besides Usha Uthup who has this kind of vocals. Shweta Shetty voiced for the first time for her film 'Rock Dancer'. Similarly, Ila Arun sang a song in 'Etbar'. I always like new and different types of vocals. That’s why I gave these singers a chance. In addition, Salma Aga sang the song 'Zum Zum Zum Baba'. The charm of these singers' voices is different, said Lahiri.

The effect of this type of hoarseness was also seen in the 80's and 80's. At that time, Ila Arun's song 'Choli Ke Peeche' became very popular. Apart from that, his album 'What for Ghaghara' was also very popular. This trend does not stop here. Even in the 21st century, singers like Richa Sharma sang 'Ni Mein Samaj Gayi' and 'Kahin Aag Lage' in the film 'Taal'. Sonu Kakkade then sang the song 'Babuji' which popularized Yana Gupta and her vocals were also appreciated along with Yana. Currently, Vasundhara Das in 'Ax' and Shubha Mudgal in 'Main Hoon Na' sang 'Chale Jaise Hawaye' in a similar tone.

However, in the film 'Hero', Reshma has sung emotional songs like 'Lambi Judai' and Salma Aga has also sung emotional songs like 'Dil Ke Arma Aasoo' But these songs are truly exceptional, as no singer with such a unique tone has had the opportunity to sing romantic songs. Agreeing with this, Lahiri said that his voice is for special types of songs. His songs are also very few so his tone sounds refreshing.

I think listeners like to hear this kind of roaring song after constantly listening to melodious and romantic songs. This also gives them a little 'change'. Romantic songs are given only to singers like Alka Yagnik, he added.

Fans of such unique singers are also prominent. Subir Mallik of Parikrama rock band has sung with Usha in the album 'Rhythm'. In his opinion, Usha's tone provides energy. It's really like a legend. He has been singing for years but his tone has not changed. I think it's a replica of Jonis Joplin. "I wish we had more and more singers like Usha Uthup there," he said.
