Jagjit Singh, known as a composer, singer, and musician, has worked in many languages. He is famous for helping revive and popularize ghazal music by choosing poetry that connected with people and composing it in a way that focused on the meaning of the words and their melody. His style of singing and composing is known as Bol-pradhan, which emphasizes the words in classical Indian music. Although he is known for ghazals & songs, he also recorded the song "Jab Purab Jagi Toh Hoee Sabera" in Bhojpuri for Manoj Tiwari's film Purab. Let’s see what he thinks about his debut in Bhojpuri. #jagjitsingh #jagjitsinghghazals #chitrasingh

00:30This is Murtaza Jafri's film, and he asked me to sing it, so I thought I'd give it a try.
00:45A new field will open up, a new area will open up, so why not give it a try.
00:51And the song is very good, composed by Lal Sinha.
00:58Bipin Bahar has written it, he's sitting with us.
01:02It's a good song, and it suits my voice as well.
01:06It's not a jazzy song, it's a serious song, so I'm very happy to sing it.
01:12Sir, is this like a ghazal?
01:17No, it's not a ghazal, it's a situation song.
01:22The song will come in the background, in the entire film.
01:26The ghazal has nothing to do with the situation.
01:29I'd like to request you to sing a couple of lines.
01:36The song is...
01:57When the sun rises, it's dawn.
02:01When the sun rises, it's dawn.
02:10What are your thoughts, sir?
02:12Will there be a change in Bhujpuri music industry after your voice?
02:19After the release of the song...
02:22Because the film should be a hit.
02:27Everything hits.
02:29Donkey, horse, goat, everything hits.
02:33If the film is a hit, the song will be released.
02:36And if the song is released, I'll have a name in Bhujpuri.
02:39I'll get more songs.
02:41If the film is a flop, it'll be difficult.
02:43So you intend to continue with Bhujpuri?
02:45Yes, why not?
02:46If it's my job, I'll sing in Bhujpuri, Hindi or Urdu.
02:50I'll sing anything.
02:51What would you like to say about the music of the film?
02:56The music is very good.
02:58It suits the voice.
03:00It's like the voice.
03:02The arrangement is good.
03:20Thank you, sir.
03:51You've sung a lot in Hindi.
03:53How is it difficult to sing in Bhujpuri?
03:56The pronunciation is different in Hindi.
03:59Hindi is very close.
04:02Sanskrit originates from Hindi.
04:05When the sun rises, it's morning.
04:08When the sun rises, it's morning.
04:10It's simple.
04:12On my soil, you're setting a tree.
04:14Who put a tree in my soil?
04:16It's simple.
04:18It's not difficult.
04:22The time to be awake has come.
04:27Has your name been on air before or are you singing for the first time?
04:32No, I've sung in Bhujpuri for the first time.
04:35I've heard a lot of Bhujpuri cassettes.
04:38I've listened to a lot of Bhojpuri cassettes.
04:40And there are a lot of recordings in our studio.
04:43So I keep listening to them.
04:44What was the reason, sir, for you to start with Bhojpuri?
04:50What was the reason? It's a matter of chance.
04:52Everything happens by chance.
04:54If it happens by chance, you'll come to this line.
04:56There's no reason.
04:59The reason could be that you have to make a lot of money.
05:01That's not it either.
05:03Or you have to hit a big target.
05:05I met a person by chance.
05:07I used to meet him every day.
05:08One day he told me that he was going to sing.
05:10I said, okay, I'll sing.
05:11Sir, I'd like to ask a question.
05:12You said that a lot of people here have started to differentiate between castes.
05:17But there's a limit to a language as well.
05:21You've taken Ghazals, Hindi songs, and now Bhojpuri.
05:28How do you manage the language?
05:31It's not difficult to manage the language.
05:34You have to work hard. You have to learn.
05:37When I asked him to sing,
05:41I asked him to tell me if the pronunciation was wrong.
05:43He said, I'll sing again.
05:45There's nothing to be ashamed of.
05:46If you want to learn, you can learn everything.
05:48There's no limit to music.
05:49There's no boundary to music.
05:52Music is the same.
05:53I don't know about all the villages.
05:54The language will keep changing.
05:57You have to learn the language and keep singing.
05:59Do you have more songs in this film?
06:01No, not yet.
06:02I've only got one so far.
06:05Let's see if I can get another one.
06:16When the flowers are awake, it's morning.
06:19When it's morning, it's night.
07:03When the flowers are awake, it's morning.
07:08Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake.
07:13Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake.
07:18When the flowers are awake, it's morning.
07:24When it's morning, it's night.
07:29Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake.
07:34Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake.
