Raag Bhoopali (Khayal & Tarana) -by Legendary Duet of Nazakat~Salamat

Raag Bhoopali (Khayal & Tarana)
Artist : Ustad Salamat Ali Khan & Ustad Nazakat Ali Khan
Tabla Player : Ustad Allah Ditta Khan
Sarangi Player : Ustad Nathu Khan
A Syed Wajid's Presentation
*The success of the duo was a result of their dedication to practice, great understanding and a disciplined approach to their performance. Their singing style displayed shades of the Patiala gharana, particularly that of stalwarts Ustad Ashiq Ali Khan and Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. However both brothers contributed with their own individuality and made use of their initial training in dhrupad, which was most apparent in the alaap and vilambit (slow tempo) part of their presentation. The brothers were equally adept at performing in both the vilambit and drut (fast tempo) sections. The vilambit part of the presentation was clearly defined by their concentration on the development of the raag; Nazakat Ali Khan would create the general ambience of the performance and concentrate on building the aesthetic framework. He would act as a path leader to his younger brother who would dominate the drut half of the performance through thundering taans, cascading sargams and ingenious rhythmic interplay known as layakari. The greatest strength of the duo was probably their appeal to both the masses and connoisseurs. The brothers performed a wide variety of raags throughout their career but were known for their mastery over raags Rageshri, Abhogi Kanada, Gorakh Kalyan and Malkauns.
The path of success continued for both brothers during the 1960s. In 1961, the Government of Pakistan recognising their contribution to classical music conferred the civilian award of "Pride of Performance" upon them and in 1967 King Zahir Shah of Afghanistan awarded them with the "Tamgha-e-Hunar". International acclaim for the duo followed in 1969 when they were formally invited to tour the United Kingdom and Holland. Following their performance at the Edinburgh Festival, the brothers became renowned in the West as the "Ali brothers" and began to regularly feature in International music festivals.

It was a supreme gift of Almighty for the people like us that we could here the music sung by these ligendary brothers ustad Nazakat Ali and ustad Salamat Ali. Ustad Nazakat Ali had the sence and understanding of the mood of his younger brother, Ustad Salamat Ali who was the pivotal singer. I witnessed the hight these two brothers used to achieve the devine level while rendering the clasical beauty of music, unbelievable. I am sorry to express that after these brothers unfortunately departed, their music did not acheive that hight. I have no hesitation to express that they could not achieve the hight which Ustad Bade Gulamali Khan in Thumri singing but in kheyal, these brothers excelled from other musicians. Tan of Ustad Salamat Ali is unparallel.

These r very very special souls sent for this purpose. one can confirm also by d way these ustaads( Khan sahib Nazakat & Salamat ali ) lived their lives,without worldly grandeur. Humble to d core. This ms cannot be produced otherwise ,never will come anyone like them,that's true art!! can't be copied like Rembrandt ,Salvador Dali ,Motzart,Bach & others. Have been listening to them from my childhood. They truly pray thru musical notes. Many many thanks fr uploading.

[@sargam-of-ramkrishna-nadrang]

many great masters say that the rendition of raag bhoop in its pure form is very difficult for there is a host of raags like bhopali, shudh bhupali, bhup kalyan, deskar, shuddha bibhaas, jait kalian, kalawati yaman, auduv deogiri, ashwini bilawaal, and sometimes raag pahadi that use the same notes and same tones. with my limited practical knowledge of the raag, I would say that the great duo rendered the raag bhupaali extremely well projecting artistic, technical and aesthetic finesse of the raag adhering to the mood of the melody and the bandish. I learnt from their recital that 1) the raag bhoop gets revealed well basically in the ascending movement (aarohi kram) which washes away the effect of raag shuddha kalyaan with no trace of charhi ma and charhi ni; and 2) on repeated application of note ga. their recital is highly captivating and interesting from beginning to end.
