Shri. Ambarish Das | Raag Bihag | Saumitra Kshirsagar, Parth Tarabadkar | Intimate house concert

Shri. Ambarish Das, a dynamic vocalist of the Kirana Gharana enthralled the audience in a full length concert hosted in Pune on 22 June 2024. After an expansive Puriya and GaudMalhar, he presented two splendid compositions in Raag Bihag. The madhyalaya bandish in Jhaptaal is a rarely heard one. It repeats each word twice, giving the bandish a unique lilt in poetry, rhythm, and Raag as well. The drut was robust with taan-s and tayyari.
Ambarish ji was ably accompanied by Saumitra Kshirsagar on harmonium Parth Tarabadkar on tabla, Alhad Alsi and Aalok Alsi on Tanpura and vocal support.
This exclusive chamber concert was filled beyond capacity with music lovers and practitioners from all over the city, creating a very lively and interactive atmosphere. It further motivated the artists to delve into a leisurely exploration of the Raag.
