Cinemaazi remembers Avinash Vyas on his birth anniversary
21 Jul 1912
A legend of Gujarati music, Avinash Vyas was born on 21 July, 1912. Trained by the great Ustad Allauddin Khan and initially working with Ustad Alla Rakha Qureshi, 1948's Gunsundari proved to be his major breakthrough. He also composed extensively in Hindi cinema, though his work is considered more influential on Gujarati sugam music. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 1970.
