এক সময়ে সেটা সম্ভবত ১৯৭৭সাল, আমার প্রিয় শিল্পী ছিলেন এই শিল্পী র পিতা মণিলাল নাই। তখন তাঁর পায়ের কাছে বসে অনেক অনুষ্ঠান শুনে ধন্য হয়েছি।আজ তাঁর কন্যার বাজনায় যেন তাঁর ই ছায়া খুঁজে পাচ্ছি আর খুব ভালো লাগছে। মিতা যেন আরও বড় কিছু করতে পারেন। শুভ কামনা রইলো।

I heard her father at a concert in Calcutta back in 1971 accompanied by Keramat Ullah Khan. The tradition Iives on.

खर्ज के नोट्स बहुत कर्णप्रिय बन पड़े हैं। बधाई !

[@akhilabhagavathi3467]

What a marvel of a performance, technically and musically. Each note is rounded and complete in itself and the Raag itself is bought out fully in its combination of gentleness and majesty. 🙏🙏Thank you

[@parthaghosh5240]

Her performance is extraordinary but to be honest her Jhallas are always on an another level. 🙏 MITA JI

[@akhilabhagavathi3467]

What do you mean that to be honest her Khalsa are at another level? Please can you explicate?

Amazing!!!

[@clemalford9768]

Very nice performance.

[@ravi34m]

AMAZING.

[@blandingscastle3729]

The artist is not using a second tumba; yet she manages to get good bass. I thought you needed a 2nd tumba for the extra bass such as one gets in Maihar artists. Could someone shed some light?

[@vrindagangrade5791]

Many thanks for this. Mita says "Kaushiki Kanara" - is that the same as "Kaunsi Kanada"? I know that in Hindi there is a kind of 'r' sound that is sometimes spelled in English as a 'd', so maybe this accounts for this.

[@ajr1247]

Both are the same

[@indetif839]

That sound is not found in English and there is no really good way to represent it in Roman script. There is a 'retroflex' D and R. Try to find a course on Hindi/Urdu and listen to those sounds.

[@sitarbaba]

I don't think they are the same as we can see that Nikhil Banerjee plays both Kaunsi Kannada and a Kaushiki and there are small subtle differences. This is made clearer if you listen to other Maihar versions by Vasant Rai, Ali Akbar Khan, and Ravi Shankar. Kaushiki has among other things, a more prominent P. and a different chalan around MGRS. Kaunsi Kannada is a raag that has several different interpretations and you can also see another view of the raag in Kishori Amonkar and other Jaipur Gharana presentations that are closer to the "standard" Maihar Gharana presentations. This presentation is definitely more Kaushiki than it is Kaushi Kannada from instrumental versions I have heard. There is a very nice presentation by Priya Purushotham on the First Edition channel whose improvisations are guided by seminal Agra Gharana bandishes.

[@psuhaskhan]

@@sitarbaba Yes, I too noticed the proximity with Raga Kaushiki. In fact the vilambit bandish is more or less same as that of the Kaushiki played by Ustad Bahadur khan on the Sitar. I also appreciate your observations on different interpretations of Kaunsi Kanada. Kishori Amonkar, Vasantrao deshpande, Shiv Kumar Sharma have all sung/played it differently, and then this one is yet again different from all the above.
