Md Rafi Songs | A small collection of songs |Purane geet🎧🎺🎺🎤

Mohammed Rafi was born on 24th December 1924 in a village near the Amritsar district of Punjab, India. He was the son of Haji Ali Mohammad and the second eldest among six brothers. Music was deep-rooted in the artist from the beginning and he started singing by imitating the chants of the fakir who used to roam around on the street of his native village. Rafi’s father moved to Lahore in 1935 and as Rafi grew up, he started learning classical music from Ustad Abdul Wahid Khan, Firoze Nizami, and Pandit Jiwan Lal Mattoo. Nurturing his musical skills, he did his first public performance at the age of 13 years only in an event at Lahore with K.L Saigal in 1941. He made his debut playback singing in a duet with Zeenat Begum for the track ‘Soniye Nee, Heeriye Nee’. The track was featured in a Punjabi film named, ‘Gul Baloch’ (released 1944) under the eyes of music director Shyam Sunder. Following the event, he was invited to All India Radio Lahore and the next year he made his debut in the Hindi film ‘Gaon Ki Gori’ in 1945.
