Mangalore, April 6: A VCD album of Mohammad Rafi songs rendered by budding singer Farha was released at the Press Club in Mangalore on Friday.
Harikrishna Punarooru, former president of Karnataka Sahitya Parishad, after releasing the album, said that budding talents like Ms. Farha should be encouraged and urged the people to listen to the songs sung by her and appreciate her effort.
Pradeep Kumar Kalkura, Chief of the Kalkura Foundation, said that Ms. Farha and her team have shown that even in Tulunadu, there are opportunities to come out with an album of songs with visuals and wished that she gets equal amount of acclaim and fame that Mohammed Rafi got.
Expressing her thoughts on the occasion, Ms. Farha who hails from Haveri said that she had been interested in singing right from her childhood. “I once took part in a singing competition and sang one of Mohammad Rafi's songs which was hugely appreciated. Mohammad Baddur who was the judge there, told me that I have the ability to go higher and advised me to sing more Rafi songs. He has been instrumental in bringing me to Mangalore from Haveri and giving me this opportunity”, she said.
Ms. Farha works as a computer education teacher at the Government Kannada Higher Primary School at Koda village of Hirekerur, Haveri district.
