I have been listening to this composition by Pt Ramakant and Umakant Gundecha ji. But Pt Uday Bhawlankar ji too is amazing. His rendition is little calmer as compared to Gudecha brothers, in whose performance the rudra ras is more prominent.
I am pertubed as to what comment to pass about this great singer. I can only say that, not a day I pass without listening to his compositions available on RU-vid. I wish there were more compositions available on RU-vid. May you continue to mesmerize us with your renditions. 🙌🏼
In love with the voice. Happened to know that Ponniyin Selvan 2 music “Veera Raja Veera” sounds similar to it. Love both versions. God bless the creativity!!
Such a smooth voice. I am English so forgive me if I am wrong, but is this a late evening Raag? Are evening Raags typically calmer as I enjoyed this one very much!
indeed it is a late night raga; and yes most evening ragas emote with devotion, longing, prayer ( Pooriya, Marwa, Shree, Kanadas to some extent), romance ( Hamsadhwani, Bageshree, Bihag, Nand, the Kauns varieties, Kanadas)...
Adana is not normally a very calm raga as it is sung more in the upper range and has a certain intensity. However the dhrupad style perhaps lends it some shant ras.
I can only say yes because it is the same on the version sung by Gundecha Brothers. I am a tabaliya and don't recognize this taal otherwise. In Khayaal singing, the taal may change once the alaap/jhol/jhala is done and a bandish is sung to another taal. I could not tell you about dhrupad.
This is a Taal originally called usool-e-fakta. Fakta is a bird and this Taal is based on the movement of its wings during flight. Eventually it became soolfakta and then later sooltaal. This is the old theka. No sir it is not necessary. Taal can be different in different bandish. Thanks.
The rendition is very short, and he is singing a Sultaal Dhrupad Bandish. Usually Sultaal Dhrupad Bandishes are sung fast and after a A long-time Alaap-Jod-Jhaala and slow Choutal composition. But here, he just sang this after a short alaap. I Think this is just a cut-out of a full concert, where this was not a main piece. So one composition=One taal. Very simple.
