Mubarak Al Rashed

Posted by Mark


[YouTube]

I’ve featured a lot of talented Kuwaiti musicians on the blog from the likes of Faisal Al-Salem who’s a lead singer for a very popular Japanese thrash metal band and Naser Al-Marzouq, the young and blind Kuwaiti piano player. Mubarak Al Rashed is another Kuwait musician who I think is also really talented.

I found out about Mubarak a few days ago when a reader emailed me telling me about him. Mubarak is a cop by day and an extremely talented Hindi singer by night. It’s a pretty strange combination but if you watch him sing in the video above you’ll see how great is. There are even more videos of him singing [Here]

I also found this old cached Kuwait Times article which has a bit more information on Mubarak and how he got into Hindi music. You can check that article [Here]

Thanks Francis

      The song IS from a 1970′s hindi blockbuster! The song has been sung in over 15 different languages and a cover of the track has been attempted by atleast a few million people if not less.

      It was originally sung by Kishore Kumar (the Doyen of Hindi Music) for the movie Jawani Diwani – loosely translated as Youthful Craziness.

    He got so good grip of Hindi pronunciation

    I’ve seen him sing a couple of times.. and I must say at first i was shocked when they said he is an Indian.

    From What i know.. he is a big Amitabh Bachchan fan and most of his songs are from Amitabh Bachchans movies from 70′s & 80′s.

    This guy is an amazing singer..

    His intonation, accent, punctuation and crisp flat hindi word / lyrics pronouciation is no less native Hindi speaker than any Indian you find on the streets of India. Brilliant Mr. Rashed. Take a bow!!
