MAESTRO Mohd Rafi – paragon of humility, greatness and piety all put together – strode the musical landscape like a meteor – enchanting and haunting generations of music lovers transcending geographical borders…

The melody and music that Mohammad Rafi created, crafted and pioneered during thirty-six long years of his career in Hindi music has withstood the test of time. Rafi Saab’s mellifluous vocals rise like a glorious tide caressing the soul with songs for every mood and for every occasion – making music itself proud.

Rafi has sung it all – with unparalleled grace and élan be it ghazal, geet, bhajans, classicals, soft romantic numbers, bhangra, sad songs, duets, nazms and high pitched fast number.

The advertisement revenue in the proposed magazine will help sustain the activities of the newly formed RAFI FOUNDATION which aims at bringing Mohd Rafi lovers from all over the world on a single platform.

The foundation would celebrate Dec.24, Rafi Saab’s birthday, build a library containing the works of the legend and also institute an award for extraordinary music makers in the memory of Bharat Ka Ratna – Shri Mohd Rafi.

We request Rafi-ians, music lovers, associations, companies and generous individuals to come forward and book advertisements in the Mohd Rafi SPECIAL magazine which is truly a COLLECTOR’s COPY.

The magazine will be distributed in various Indian and international cities to avid music lovers from whom we have already procured orders. The print order is 8000 copies.
