Raga Charukeshi on the Sitar I Ustad Rais Khan I Live at BCMF 2013

#bengalclassicalmusicfestival
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
An illustrious Sitar-maestro of the Mewati gharana, Ustad Rais Khan created a signature style of playing by combining the Rudra Veena approach with the Beenkar baaj gayaki ang. In addition to extensive meend and the gandhar pancham style employed by the artist, his alaap, gatkari and gamak stands out significantly. Ustad Rais Khan’s pacing and technique made him one of the most sought artists in the Indian classical music fraternity.
Ustad Rais Khan’s mother was a singer and his father a beenkar (veena player). This helped embellish his music by incorporating a unique combination of kheyal, dhrupad and thumri angs.
Ustad Rais Khan performed Rag Charukeshi at Bengal Classical Music Festival 2013 where his son Farhan Khan extended able support. A judicious tabla accompaniment by Pt Samar Saha added great depth to the memorable recital.

Please correct the name of tabla player. This was accompanied by Pandit Samar Saha.

[@rudrashisghosh2260]

Yes

[@WasimAkram-qr5po]

They don't even read the comments.

[@safwansadat18]

yep,pandit yogesh samsi plays the baya in his right hand he is not doing it in the video so this is not pandit yogesh samsi

[@DurantaRangan]

Thank you Bengal Foundation for these wonderful uploads. Simultaneously I am feeling very sorry to read the description box. Here , tabla was played by Pt.Samar Saha , whereas the description box says Pt Yogesh Shamsi. In Purbayan Chatterjee’s description box it was written that he played Darbari, but in reality, he started with a long Jaijaiwanti, after that he played Darbari. Please be careful with your description box writer/s.

[@BugiAnsari]

Wah Wah Wah Farhan! Kya baat hai! You have reminded me of that era of '60's/80's, of Ustad "Rais Khansaab. God bless you, always.

[@soumitrachakrabarty1759]

Fantastic recital, both sitar and table! But please be informed that the tabla player was Pandit Samar Saha, not Pandit Yogesh Samsi.

[@ayushstech9827]

Class one recitation & Rubbish cameraman having least experience

[@soumitrachakrabarty1759]

Why did you intentionally mention the name of the tabla player Pt. Yogesh Sams instead of Pt. Samar Saha? Who gave you this authority to mislead us on KZbin?

[@mirnaqibulislam]

SubhanAllah. Khan Sahab will be always remembered through his music. I was there at the concert. Thanks for uploading this video.

[@aritram10]

The description has one incorrect info at the end. The tabla player is Pandit Samar Saha of Benares gharana. Pandit Yogesh Samsi is not playing here. Correct this.

[@angshu77]

Thanks Bengal Foundation for this outstanding program but the tabla maestro is not Pt. Yogesh Samsi, he is Pt. Samar Saha. Please change this immediately.
