Sawani Shende | Raag Kalawati | Bazm e khas | HINDUSTANI Classical | live baithak

ARTIST
----
Sawani Shende is a Hindustani Classical Artist born in a musically rich family. She was introduced to Indian Classical Music at a tender age of only six by her grandmother, Smt.Kusum Shende, a noted singer of the Kirana Gharana and an honored artist of the Sangeet Natak Era. Sawani’s father, Dr.Sanjeev Shende, a disciple of Smt.Shobha Gurtu, has groomed her in semi-classical genres like Thumri, Dadra, Kajri, etc. Sawani’s music is a beautiful soul searching combination of the Kirana and the Gwalior Gharana, where she mesmerizes audiences with enchanting melody and strength of both. Her confidence and mastery in Khayals, her crystal clear diction and overall sensitivity in presentation takes every performance to a very high aesthetic level.
Raag Kalavati is a rather simple yet very popular and melodious raag. The charm of raag Kalavati is in its mere modesty and simplicity. It consists of five notes in its ascend and five in its descend, which makes it a pentatonic scale, omitting "Re" and "Ma". It belongs to Khamaj Thaat.
Raag Kalavati is often associated with "Sharad ritu" (Autumn season) because of its dazzling and extremely pleasant nature.
