SALIL CHAUDHARI MUSIC:-

I had enquired about this original long back (December 9th, 2001, in RMIM, to be precise!) but couldn't get any info...till now, that is! It was my dad who told me that he had heard the original of this Madhumati number in a documentary titled 'Music and dances of Silesia' that accompanied the Polish World War II classic 'Kanal' by Andrez Wajda (My dad had seen the movie way back in the 60s while he was in Calcutta). So naturally, we both assumed that the original should have Polish origins and have been on the look out ever since. Recently I came across Sundar's website, which also talked about an original to this number. Then finally, with the help of Sundar, I managed to get the original from a Bangalore-based RJ, Seetal Iyer, who hosts the 'Matinee Show' (the FM station is called Radiocity, btw!). Seems her brother had married a girl of Polish descent and it was in their wedding video that she heard the Polish original!

For those who might be interested in knowing more about this Polish number, here goes! I had posted a query about the origins of this number in as many Polish music forums as I could find on the net. And Ms. Wanda Wilk, Director of Polish Music Center at the University of Southern California wrote back with some amazing information, for which I'm really thankful to her. Here's what she says... "The song is a very popular folk-song that originated in the Silesian (South-Western) part of Poland i.e., from the regions of Slask Gorny (High Silesia), Cieszyn and Opole regions. The ethnographer Juliusz Roger identifies it as coming from Rybnik, which is near the Czech border. That is where the famous Polish jazz pianist, Adam Makowicz, and the famous Polish composer, Henryk Gorecki, come from. It has been very popular throughout Poland for many years, for various celebratory occasions like namesday, youth gatherings etc. It has been recorded by the professional Folk Song & Dance Ensemble, 'Slask' produced by Polskie Nagrania, by the Lira Ensemble of Chicago and by popular singers like Maryla Rodowicz and popular Polish dance bands. As far as the pronunciation, it goes something like this... Szla dzieweczka: shwah jeh-vehtch-ka do laseczka: duh lah-sech-kah do zielonego: duh zhyeh-loh-neh-go nadeszla tam mysliweczka: nah-desh-wah tahm mih-shlee-vetch-kah bardzo szwarnego: bahr-dzoh schwahr-neh-goh O moj mily mysliweczku: Oh mooy mee-lyh mih-shlee-vetch-koo dalabym ci chleba z maslem: dah-wah-bim chee hleh-bah z mahs-wem alem juz zjadla: a-lehm yoosh zyad-wah"
