Ganga Song Download

[Jacinto Man]

GangaCyrillic: Ганга) is a type of singing that originated from rural Dinaric mountain region. It is most commonly found in the regions of Herzegovina and Dalmatia, but it can also be found to an extent in western Bosnia, Lika, Kordun and rural areas of north-west Montenegro. It is characterized by a lone singer singing a single line of lyrics, followed by others joining in, using a vocal style that is best described as a wail.

Ganga has historically been closely associated with the region of Herzegovina, where it has developed as a strong sense of cultural identity.[1][2] To ensure its survival, both Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia have taken measures to protect ganga as part of their cultural heritage and encourage its performance.[3]

Ganga is an expressive form of singing. Although both men and women regularly perform ganga, it is extremely unusual for them to perform together, although it was not unusual for Catholic and Muslim men to perform together. Ganga is culture is mainly situated in small towns and villages.

Ganga is a remnant of the archaic polyphonic singing style that can be found throughout the Dinaric region. Over time, local populations developed their own variety of the old-style singing, such as the throat-shaking style of singing ojkanje from Dalmatia, the izvika cry from western Serbia, or the iso-polyphony of Albania and North Macedonia. In the early 20th century, priest and musicologist Branko Marić theorized that the term "ganga" derived from the Albanian word knga which means "song", a possible remnant from the ancient Illyrians.[4] However, others have dismissed the theory and suggested it's derived from the sounds emitting from the performers' voice (gn-gn or gan-gan).[5]

Ganga performers historically sang about things pertaining to them, from the hardships of peasant work to the joys one finds in life. Because of its roots in the rural mountains, ganga has often been viewed by larger society as an oldfashioned or primitive tradition.[citation needed] More recent renditions of ganga have begun to address political issues, frequently adopting overtly nationalistic overtones and incorporating themes from wars and conflict.Several popular Croatian musicians have incorporated some Ganga into their work, such as folk singer Mate Bulić and pop stars Nina Badrić[6] and Severina, the latter with her Eurovision song entry.[7]

Ganga Addara (English : Beside the River) was a 1980 Sinhalese language film directed by Sumitra Peiris and produced by Sumathi Films. The film stars Vasanthi Chathurani and late Vijaya Kumaratunga in the lead roles. Adapted from a novel by Letitia Botejue, its script was written by veteran director Tissa Abeysekara. The music and English lyrics ('Banks of the River') were composed by Nimal Mendis. It was translated into Sinhala by Augustus Vinayagaratnam and was sung by Vijaya Kumaratunga, who also made his mark as a playback singer. Ganga Addara, which was the second production of Sumathi Films was set in Kandy, colonial Sri Lanka. Its plot is about a tragic love story between a boy and his uncle's daughter, where all the incidents take place around river Kalani, a famous river in Sri Lanka.

It received many awards at the prestigious Sarasaviya Awards Festival including the Best Film Award, Best Director Award, Best Music Direction Award and Best Actress Award for Vasanthi Chathurani. Even after two decades, the film, which was a box-office hit in the eighties, still remains as one of the finest Sri Lankan films ever made.[1]

England educated Dr. Sarath Pathirana (Vijaya Kumaratunga), who is willing to try out new methods to treat his patients, is directed towards a special patient by the Head Doctor (Henry Jayasena) at the mental hospital. This patient is a beautiful girl named Nirmala (Vasanthi Chathurani), who does not speak a single word nor trouble anyone excessively unlike any other patient at the hospital.

In order to cure her, Dr. Pathirana seeks help from her father, a proud, rich man called D.J. Atapattu (Tony Ranasinghe) and the patient herself. He is certain that he can restore her to normal, if he can find out the causes for the sudden change in her mental makeup.

Through the several characters in the story, it is revealed that Nirmala was in love with her cousin, Ranjith (Sanath Gunathilake). He was an educated youth, but not a financially able one like Nirmala's family and so her father refused their marriage. Instead, she was married to the son of the rich, dignitary Kobbekaduwa family from Kandy. After six months of their wedding, she becomes pregnant and is about to leave to her parents' home, when a white lady with two children arrive at their home. The two children are seen calling her husband, "Daddy." As soon as Nirmala is aware of the fact that Kobbekaduwa was married with two children in England, she poisons herself and is taken to hospital.

It is this incident that had changed Nirmala's life as well as her mental condition. She had not spoken a word since then. Yet, through Dr. Pathirana's kindness, she begins to gradually heal, when her forehead is hurt by another patient at the hospital. This accelerates Nirmala's recovery and she regains her lost memory. But, by that time, Dr. Pathirana has fallen in love with her.

Her parents are now ready to tie their daughter's knot with Ranjith, who has returned from England after his higher studies. But, Ranjith's parents have already agreed on another girl. On the other hand, Dr. Pathirana is also ready to accept Nirmala's hand, although she does not remember a bit of the history with him at the hospital now.

At the end, she goes back to the place near the river, where she spent her childhood with Ranjith and she extends her hand to who she fantasizes as being him in a boat approaching the bridge, when she falls into the river and presumably drowns.

In 2010 a new teledrama in the same name started telecasting on Sirasa TV. The plot is identical to that of original film at many scenes. This teledrama stars Saranga Disasekara, Shalani Tharaka and Devnaka Porage.[2] Also a new version of original movie's Ganga Addara song was produced for this teledrama by the original composer Nimal Mendis. This new version is sung by Surendra Perera.

Bollywood stars Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Govinda, Jackie Shroff, Rishi Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah were seen in the song. Stars from various regional film industries also featured in the song. These included Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, Prosenjit, Sachin Pilgaonkar, Mammootty and Rasik Dave, and many others. While Udit Narayan, Mohammed Aziz, Manhar Udhas and Jolly Mukherjee sang the song, Laxmikant-Pyarelal composed the music for the song.

Talking about the song, Subhash told Indian Express in an interview, "After the demolition of Babri Masjid, the atmosphere in the country was very charged. People were dying in communal clashes and everyone was disturbed. One day while I was shooting for a film, I got a call from a secretary at the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. He asked me if the film industry can come together and give a message of brotherhood to the people. To which I agreed."

Tu Ganga ki mauj main Jamuna ka dhaara is a song, which I like as well. BB looks good with his curly hair. But find the chorus a bit distracting in such an intimate song. Just to think that we would have lost a great actress in process of filming this song.

I am an inveterate koopmandook. Much prefer to read or watch documentaries about these wondrous places to schlepping through tourist spots. All my travels have resulted from my wife putting her foot down and dragging me off. But loved your post about your vacation and Ganga. Your favorite Ganga songs are mine too, not too many as you rightly pointed out. Have you seen the Bengali movie Ganga by Rajen Tarafdar? A wonderful movie about fishermen fishing on the Ganges. It has superb music by Salil Choudhury. Sample this (a poor recording but the only recording on youtube): =sNRdwcVAlNI

Such a pity about Gangai nathiyoram being wasted on a bad film. But that seems to also have often been the case in Hindi cinema. I have rarely come across a good film from 1950s-60s Hindi cinema which had bad music, but there are numerous instances of fabulous songs but a less-than-good film.

The river Ganga is a really something. The first time I saw it was way back in my childhood on a visit to Benares and Calcutta, but I really saw its magnificence, when I saw it in Rishikesh. Wow! It was really something. As usual you and your readers have done a wonderful job so in that sense I have nothing more to add but I am going to post one song that I can relate to, that is just the first few words, you see although by birth and upbringing I am not a Ganga Kinara Wali but my ancestors were Ganga Kinare Walas and Walis so here goes

The lyrics of this immensely popular song 'Ganga Behti Ho Kyun' was written in Hindi by another stalwart poet and literary figure Pandit Narendra Sharma whose death anniversary is on February 12. The poet's death anniversary could be the reason why this old viral claim has been circulated again on social media, especially on WhatsApp.Published By: Pallavi KumarPublished On: Feb 11, 2019--- ENDS ---
