Hamida Bano

Hamida Bano

Hamid Bano was moderately successful singer of the pre-partition era. Before migrating to Pakistan, her repertoire included memorable songs like Teri zaat pak hai ai Khuda (Neik Perveen,1946) and Champa kali hai udaas (Cheen le Azaadi, 1947). Her duets with Mukesh – Ja parwane ja kahin shama jal rahie hai (Rajputani,1946) and Badariya baras gayi us paar (Moorti, 1945 with Khursheed Begum) are still remembered by serious music buffs. It is ironic that she died unsung in Lahore on November 9th, 2006. She is survived by her son, Arshad – Ummer Siddique
