Before Bangladesh, when Pakistan was still one, a whole host of artists, singers, directors and musicians from the Eastern wing of the country worked in the then vibrant film and music industries. Classical singers like Roshan Ara Begum, film composer Robin Ghosh and pop stars Alamgir and Runa Laila as well as ghazal singer Munni Begum were all Bengalis.
Tina Sani was born in Dhaka, at the time East Pakistan. Her family was well off and like many business people, gravitated to the country’s commercial capital, Karachi. The family moved to Kabul for a few years, where her father, Nasir Sani, worked for an oil company, before moving to Karachi. Tina graduated from the Karachi American School, then went on to study commercial art. She began working for an advertising agency in 1977. She was involved in all the creative aspects of advertising business, including listening to and evaluating the music that is an integral part of advertising. Tina also taught at the Karachi American School in the art department.
Sani was trained in classical music by Ustad Nizamuddin Khan, son of Ustad Ramzan Khan of Dehli gharana and Ustad Chand Amrohvi. She also received special training from ghazal maestro Mehdi Hassan.
Her musical career began in 1980 when producer Ishrat Ansari introduced her on TV in a youth programme titled 'Tarang' hosted by Alamgir. Over the next 10 to 15 years her ghazals, especially of Faiz Ahmed Faiz made her a very popular and critically acclaimed artist. She gained much acclaim in Pakistan and India by singing the poetry of Faiz Ahmed Faiz including poems like "Bahaar aayi" and "Bol ke lab azad hain terey" composed by Arshad Mehmood. She renders poetry of contemporary poets with complete ease and is equally at home singing works of famous poets like Zauq, Ghalib, Mir Taqi Mir and Jalaluddin Rumi. Her voice is smooth and imbued with a jazz-like phrasing and slight swing which makes her sound unique and probably more instantly appealing to Western ears.
