78 rpm Records of Indian Music: “Khaki Putla” — featuring Mianbhai and Mahomed

I can’t offer much beyond inferences about these two sides on the Zonophone label. My guess is that “Khaki Putla” was the name of a drama, and these two songs are part of the complete “soundtrack.” Mahomed, the singer on “Tap karna aaya,” has very nice technique.

Mianbhai: Aay maula arabhi

Mahomed: Tap karna aaya
