Music director Shamir Tandon can't stop raving about Sonu Niigaam Ji who hit the highest note for a patriotic track in the film Kandahar.. Directed by retired army officer, Major Ravi, the trilingual project in Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam, toplines Amitabh Bachchan and Mohanlal..."The song in question is Naman Hai and Sonu Ji has hit the highest note in human vocal registry with an open throat effort without singing falsetto", explains Tandon...
Technically the last octave is the highest possible note that can be humanly hit.. And its usually achieved while singing falsettowhen the voice begins to vibrate and shrill..
"Sonu Ji was unaware of what He had done.. Very few people in the world can go this far.. The late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was an exception but even he sounded shrill.. Sonu Ji sustained the pitch admirably and the heaviness of His voice added a melancholic touch to the song," exults Tandon..
Naman Hai, is being penned by lyricist Sandeep Nath who also wrote verses for Tandon's earlier soundtracks for movies like Page 3 and Corporate.. "Ravi wanted lines that weren't overdramatic and he wanted a hindi synonym of salaam that could be used across the three languages.. Naman is another word for salute in hindi," says Tandon...
This soft rock number, complete with electric violin, guitar distortion and live drums though in Hindi, will be used in all three versions of the film.. The other songs will be dubbed in the respective languages...
So guys just wait for such a historical song and another mileston achieved by the Legend.....
Cheers!!
