Listening to his composition today on his birthday ❤

Thank you so much Pokri Poki ji. This raaga was composed by this maestro himself. He also composed some unique raagas like Sindhu Gandhar, Manj Yaman , Madhu Palash. Pranam to my guru's guru Pandit Ranadhir Roy.

Beautiful. The main artiste and Tabla both are good. As per my knowledge Esraj is an Instrument which is something between the Sarangi and Violin and Chelsea. One Mr. Aalauddin Khan and one more artiste from Delhi are very famous for playing ESRAAJ. Mostly this instrument is used as an accompaniment.

[@SoumavoDolui_]

This is not the traditional Esraj which is used for accompaniment. As can be seen in the photo provided, it is a bigger and modified version of the instrument. This has more number of frets, more number of taraf strings, a much bigger amplifier, a resonator on the top, Jawari strings and a full three octave range. This bigger instrument was developed and established as a solo instrument by the maestro Ranadhir Roy himself.

[@therainmaker6174]

Esraj is now a days becoming obsolete in the arena of popular classical musical instruments. All must try to revive this instrument which is no less qualified than popular instruments like sitar, sarod etc.

[@sarojmukhopadhyay18]

Excellent. A great experience. Thanks a lot for sharing. Do you have any other recordings of Pt. Ranadhir Roy? Please share, if possible.

[@sudipbosu8787]

bah!

[@SoumavoDolui_]

Pokri Poki ji please upload more of Pandit Ranadhir Roy. It's my earnest request to you.

[@PokriPoki]

Soumavo Dolui bro - the request should flow in the other direction, don’t you think? we should be requesting you and your gurus to share music of Ranadhir Roy and ashes Bando

[@SoumavoDolui_]

@@PokriPoki I would've been the happiest person if I had this maestro's recordings in my collection. But, again thanks for uploading such gems for us Pokri Poki ji.
