Dadra in Mishra Sindhu Bhairavi | Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty | Music of India

#raag #chakraborty #khayal
In 2006, Darbar presented Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty in an exclusive evening in his semi-classical avatar. The semi-classical or lighter segment is a by-product of folk music and an off-shoot of pure classical music that consists of a deluge of forms in which Pandit Chakraborty holds a position of respect and reverence for his deep knowledge, experience and authority on the subject.

In this video, he performs the much-anticipated ‘Kya Karoon Sajni Aye Na Balam’ - a dadra that he counts as the turning point in north Indian semi-classical music spurred by Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan (1923-1967), the father of the Patiala gharana and his younger son, Ustad Munawar Ali Khan (1930-1989). Before he embarks on this rendition, he acknowledges the contribution of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan in giving the thumri of Benares (Varanasi) a new form by entwining it with the flashy and vivacious vocalisations of the Patiala gharana.
Thumris and dadras are a semi-classical form that took birth in the spiritual city of Varanasi and their style of rendition came to be known as ‘purab-ang gayaki’ which means ‘style of the north’. This style roots in patient and delicate handling of its elaborations as opposed to the perky, boisterous and more complex layering of the Patiala gharana. Naturally, with Ustad Khan’s additions, the character of thumris and dadras assumed a livelier and more colourful format that expanded its appeal and extended its reach beyond the niche audience.
Pandit Chakraborty also conveys his respects to one of his gurus, Pandit Gnan Prakash Ghosh, who, he informs, was a close musical associate and colleague of the great Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan.
Pandit Subhankar Banerjee plods with Pandit Chakraborty’s languid pace, his tabla accompaniment showing no trace of showmanship but a keenness to compliment the vocalist’s musical design. He fills
up the lagghi with crisp and rapturous spates of micro-beats rolled within the spacious downbeats of the rhythmic cycle, enriching the rendition manifold.
Chiranjib Chakraborty on the harmonium is a revelation, especially in this piece where the melodic explorations of Pandit Chakraborty lurk unpredictably throughout the rendition. His replications are confident, well-anticipated and sincere to say the least. He also manages a few fillers, proving his ability to add his own to the overall scheme.

While most musicians "wrestle" with music as if they must triumph over and conquer it, Pt. Ajoy Chakarabartyji courts music and makes love to it. Even when he explains something about music, he does so with such humility and deep passion. There is no pretense, no pride in his accomplishments. Music has fallen in love with him.

[@andrew01]

There's a moment at 11:32 where he breaks unexpectedly into a bit of Yaman, which sounds ambiguous until the harmonium comes in and briefly moves the "Sa" to the Dha of the original scale so that it matches what he is singing. I've never heard anything quite like that; it's rather lovely.

[@arindambasu9850]

My absolute favourite bit of the entire performance. What a masterful juxtaposition 🔥

[@Gopalsharma-qe2bw]

Echo with you on this.

[@tridipchakraborty7564]

Really miss that smiling face of Pandit Shubhankar Banerjee. Cannot believe his physical absence.

[@sohampatole1668]

That kharaj ka 'Sa' at 5:00 got me chills 😭❤

[@samirandeka2501]

ufffff.... can't resist my tears

[@bksandeeep]

पवित्र हृदय में ही ऐसा स्पंदन होता है 😇

[@kaushikkrishnan7859]

That subtlety at 8:38 is a mark of a man who verily embodies music. I somehow prefer this to Kaushiki Chakraborty's brazen taans

[@shantil7764]

No need to compare 🙏🏼 kaushiki also embodies music in her Own way.

[@fankooshaloosh6062]

BRAZEN TAANS!!! Kaushiki has so much versatality and if you like the @8:38 mark then listen to the following kaushiki song it has music in all tempos... Pt Ajoy Chakraborty worked so much with kaushiki to outshine him which any father would want... kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5zEnmOsfbaer68&ab_channel=BengalFoundation

[@RavindraKumarSG]

Every singer is unique. Both are heavenly in their own way. In this rendition, it sounds like a matured man delivering the song. Kaushiki ji brings the younger version

[@shyamdixit2851]

Music of heaven in single composition he mixes raag bhairavi with bhimphalasi, kafi, yaman, kirwani, how difficult and beautiful

Enthralled to see Pandit ji in darbar. Didn't know that he has been there ever. However, this video seems to be very old. Thank you Darbar for blessing us with the best ever version of this thumri 🥺🥺🙏🙏❤❤❤ Please invite him again 🙏

[@AnushaSinghOfficial]

This is what music pure music sounds like and this is what the highest level of music sounds like and this is what Gods hear in heaven

Pandit Subhankar banerjee jee... You are missed as always... May lord rest you in peace🙏🙏🙏

[@123subhab]

The dexterity mixes with supreme mastery, where variety of emotions flowing through different shades of raaga; the one and only Pt. Ajoy Chakraborty.

[@HarshitVishvas]

6:51 that Arabic touch ❤️

[@apoorvappychoudhary392]

He pulled that off so effortlessly...

[@simapaul2609]

It might sound "Arabic" but, it's frequently used in Toppa which is also pandit ji's stronghold.

[@satadeepdasgupta397]

It's very natural because Tappa is newer form of gayaki highly with very high Middle East Inspiration

[@rohitsainid6]

raag sindhu bhairavi. it can't get any better than this pandit Ajay Chakraborty Ji pt. subhankar banerjee will be always here through his beautiful recordings ♥️🙏♥️

Every, every single time Guruji performs 'Ka Karoon Sajani' it is like you are hearing it for the first time. He always finds something new to bring to life. Cannot wait for the Director's Cut of this performance to be uploaded to Darbar Concert Hall proper! And of course Subhankarji's joyful, musical presence will always be missed.

[@iman108]

Just beyond the best..i guess this was the last year of his sublime unbeatable form before he suffered that fatal stroke..His imagination power and execution was simply from another planet..koti pranam🙏

[@Surbahar1984]

I, think this was recorded between 2006- 7

[@Rajvirdee]

This was 2006

[@soumitrapandit3444]

What are you talking about? What fatal stroke? BGAK had a stroke, that too not fatal. Pt Ajoy Chakroborty never had a stroke as far as I know.

[@iman108]

@@soumitrapandit3444 then you know little my friend! & yes BGAK's stroke was also fatal in the context of his music & form thereafter,as it was never the same anymore & so was Pt.ji's..Adding to my point,i noticed many outrageous & ignorant comments about Pt.ji's outfit in this video,to all those,this was the time when he had just lost his father,who was the most integral part of his life & career,he had shaved his head as is the custom for hindus when their fathers die and hence the cap..not to imitate manna dey or bhupen hazarika!!

[@ArghyadipGhosh]

seems like you do not know what fatal means
