Raag Bhupali - Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty

Bada Khayal in Raag Bhupali by Pt. Ajoy Chakraborty.
Ajoy Chakrabarty was born in Bengal to Ajit Chakrabarty in a Hindu Brahmin family. They moved to India from his homeland, Bangladesh during the partition and raised his two sons in Shyamnagar. His younger brother, Sanjay Chakrabarty is a noted composer and music therapist.
His daughter, Kaushiki Chakrabarty is also an upcoming talent of Hindusthani classical music.
Chakrabarty was a disciple of Ustad Munawar Ali Khan. He is also a first class graduate from the Rabindra Bharati University.
Chakrabarty showed extraordinary promise in vocal music and at the tender age of three, began taking lessons from his father Ajit Chakrabarty. He then learnt from Pannalal Samanta and Kanai Das Bairagi and later became a student of Padma Bhushan Pandit Jnan Prakash Ghosh. In 1969, his training took a decisive turn as he became a disciple of Ustad Munawar Ali Khan, son of the legendary maestro of the Patiala-Kasur gharana (school), Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. He is notable for imagination and sensitivity to lyrics, coupled with his uncanny sense of rhythm.

I had heard Rag Bhupali by Panditji in khairagarh at the age of his 30. He made the students of sangeet mahavidyalaya stunned. Some students started weeping. It was a remarkable moment for all of us. Kya Bat hai Panditji... kya bat hai....

[@d14d40]

In Maharashtra songs were supposed to be sung in Raag Bupaali to awaken god in the early morning. There very beautiful songs in this Raaga which describe the early morning ambience and whenever tha word Bhupali is used instead of Bhup the mood associated with it becomes different. I found the mood in the recital of Bhup by Najakat and Salamat Ali is that of Bhupali but not of Bhoop sung by many others. The mood in this recital is similar that perhaps the style of the two Gharaanaas is similar or same. Where exactly is the difference in the details of the same Raaga that produces this difference. Some expert may be able to explain. An interesting aside The Khayaal (thought) expressed by the Bandish is not necessarily the emotional expression produced by the arrangement of sequence of notes used to pronounce the words of the Bandish. That shows the meaning of a Bandish is meaningless musically and neither the performers nor the listeners care about it. Often it is found that the original words get distorted with time producing meaningless expressions. The Western music listeners often ask a question what is the song? They think what we enjoy in melody is related to the meaning of the song. They don't have the understanding that the thought in music is ( Bhaava) emotional and not expressible in words. It is expressed by sequences of notes in singing. Often the Bhaava is not identifiable with our emotions like love or grudge though the words in Bandishes especially in Thumaaris are about human emotions. Traditionally the musicians are accustomed to believe that a particular Raaga expresses a particular Bhaava corresponding with human desires and disappointment. Listeners also get accustomed to believe in that. But a scientific study is possible by asking listeners no preconceptions to identify the type of emotions they feel and statistical analysis of the data may confirm or reject my conjecture. We can call the Bhaava as abstract and the musical Khayaal also abstract. As an example, I find Bhairavi and Malkauns sung in different ways produce many different Bhaavas though poignancy is prominent.

[@SurRangSarwar]

Vilambit Ektaal but with no "khanapuri"!! I am proud to be his desciple. Joy Guru.

[@SanjayShettennavar]

Sorry. I am a novice. What is khanapuri? please enlighten me

[@SurRangSarwar]

Sanjay Shettennavar , Khanapuri is actually the sub-bits for keeping the long Vilambit Laya of any Vilambit Taal. For example, Ektaal has the bol as "Dhin Dhin Dhagi Tirkit Thun Na Kot Ta Dhagi Tirkit Dhin Dha. But if you play the taal in Vilambit, then the time distance between each bol becomes quite long and hence it is a common practice to fill up that time with some extra sub-bits, such as (Dhin - in -dhin -dhintete) actually covers the first Dhin of Ektaal in Vilambit. In this case "in -dhin -dhintete" is called Khanapuri.

Thank you very much. Very well explained.
