Shashwati Mandal: Tappa in Raag Sohini

[@nandi4crc]

I haven't heard anyone sing Tappa like this. Malini tai is probably equal to this lady. But this is quite a majestic voice and control.

[@shobhahajarnis]

What a melodious voice. Heard for the first time. She has a very bright future.

[@sohampatole1668]

What in this world did I just hear?!! Power, Perfection and Purity?

[@rhythmicvedansh4042]

आय हाय, क्या शोख़ी है आवाज़ में। टप्पा की बेहतरीन प्रस्तुति। प्रणाम है विदुषी शाश्वती मंडल जी को🙏🙏

[@MrSaqib55]

Be misaal tappa gayeki... itna mushkal gana aur itne araam se... gale ki phirat aur awaz ka sureela pan sone par suhaga hai.... aap to ji Khansahib Ustad aur Pandita hein... hamara bauhat bauhat salaam aap k liyye.... sadi boli di poetry hai eh.... Mian Shori ji de tappe

[@Uday2310]

Tappa originated from the folk songs of the camel riders of Punjab and developed as a form of classical music. पंजाबात उंटावरून जाणारे प्रवासी गाणी गात असत. ही लोकगीते खुल्या हवेत गायली जात असल्यामुळे त्यांच्या गायनात जोम , उत्साह , ढंग दिसून येई. ही गाणी अर्थात पंजाबी भाषेत असत. ह्याच गीतांना कोणी पहाडी गीते असेही नाव देतात. लखनौचे नवाब असफउदौला ( इ. स. १७७६ ते १७९७ ) यांच्या पदरी गुलाम रसूल खां हे एक विख्यात ख्यालगायक होते. यांना गुलाम नबी नावाचा मुलगा होता.हा वडीलांकडे ख्यालगायन शिकून तयार झाला. त्याचा आवाज अतिशय पातळ व चपळ होता. त्या आवाजाच्या भरीस पडला असताना ख्यालगायनात किती ही ताना मारल्या तरी त्याच्या मनाचे समाधान होईना. पंजाबात प्रवास करीत असताना त्याने वरील उंटावरील प्रवाशांची मधुर , उत्साहवर्धक , निरनिराळ्या चपळ ढंगाची गीते ऐकली , आणि त्याच्या मनातील गोष्टच सापडली. ती गीते त्याने प्रवाशांकडून शिकून घेतली. त्यांतल्या उलटसुलट हरकती , गीटकड्या , आलापांचे चपळ झमझमे त्याच्या मनात भरले. पंजाबी भाषाही त्याने शिकून घेतली. त्या भाषेतील ख्यालगेय रागांतील भूप , खमाज , काफी , देस , भैरवी , झिंझोटी , कालिंगडा , सिंधू हे राग निवडून त्याने गीते रचली ; या रागांचे स्वर त्या ऐकलेल्या नवीन गायकीच्या जातीने लावण्याची कसरत करून " टप्पा " हा एक गायनाचा नवाच प्रकार त्याने सुरु केला. या मजेच्या तानगीटक्ड्यांनी त्याच्या चपळ गळ्याला पुष्कळच खाद्य मिळाल्यामुळे मेहेनतीने या लोक गायनाला एका निराळ्याच रोशनीची जोड त्याने करून दिली. गुलाम नबीने आपले ' शौरी ' हे नाव सदारंग , अदारंग , मनरंग , हररांगाप्रमाणे गीताच्या शेवटच्या चरणामध्ये गुंफले. --- अस्ताई लेखक -- केशवराव भोळे २ टप्पा गायन पान नंबर २१

No I don't think Indian classical music will ever die...it will only evolve and customise itself according to changing times. Its pure and timeless.

[@chitrayudhghatak]

Sang Shuddha Rishabh in Tar Saptak once. Otherwise very high quality singing.

[@_HimanshuMehra]

Is the composition fixed?? If not then how the harmonium can acconpany the spontaneous notes????? Both singer and accompanist are damn good

[@sagnikb84]

You have half answered your question. Within the broad framework of the raaga the singer improvises and the sangati matches her note by note. No, a pre-fixed notation isn't necessary.

[@r8rdarklord]

Some of it but most of it is spontaneous. Yes, they are that good, years & years of riaz. Isn't it amazing?

[@gauravdjgm]

Himanshu, entirety of Hindustani Classical Music(Khyal, Thumri, Tappa etc.) is based on improvisation. Now this improvisation has boundaries which depends on the raga in context, in this case Sohini. The accompanist know what Sohini is and hence, improvise within the framework of Sohini Raga.

[@tapanhore2147]

beautiful rendition of tappa . but should be more care of though , it seems to me , she is able to be a renowned performer in very near future in this classical music field.

[@Love_Mountains]

Wow

[@chhabravipul]

🙏

[@highsparrow1347]

what is tappa exactly? and does it follow a taal pattern? which taal has this been sung?

[@gauravdjgm]

Hey. Tappa is a form of rendition which takes Punjabi lyrics along with very fast paced and embellished taans. Although, tappas are labeled as semi-classical but it is just as complicated as classical forms. While thumri focuses more on emotion, tappa focuses much on embellishments and hence sounds very restless. It is very exhausting to sing Tappa. Yes it does follow a tala. This tappa follows roopak tala(7 beat cycle).

[@tapanhore2147]

some one remarks that the classical music is dead in Pakisthan , in India it's decaying .I'm not in a same opinion , on the contrary , inspite of some limitations , i do believe it would be revived as the demand of the historical necessity . however , thank you very much for sharing a beautiful tappa , sung by smt.saswati mondal.

[@pradeeptathe2336]

Very nice

[@dshbord4994]

Good but Malini tai will always remain best in Tappa

[@ushapurohit7133]

She is excellent. But went out of tune once. And Malinitai is the Himalaya. Till this date unparallelled in tappa & tarana singing.

[@AnkitaNathFlute]

beautiful
