An evening with the Ustads
Fingers beating. Hands beating. Head shaking. Neck agreeing. Eyes moving. Emotions. Smiles. Applauds…

The Banaras Gharana does not fail to impress this time too. Must say that might lessen the Karnatic craze in me in a few days time..

Raag Yaman was the apt choice to set the mood for the evening right. Long and cautious.

Raag Khamaj, one of the most passionate raag’s, my personal favourite.. was bang on to impress this time too..Romancing the light classical thumri with jugalbandi(my fav again) of the tabla , jhanak and folk-eternally romantic.The coversation of the tabla and santoor never seemed better.

People somehow seem to applaud intensity actually. However,variation actually, in art to acting, music to theatre should actually be the true test and challenge. High and low at the same time, that impresses me every time. Sudden aggression ignites people’s minds.
