MORNING RAGAS


Year 2007, is proving to be musically lucky year for me. Yesterday I attended concert ar St.Xaviars College, Dhobi Talao by Pundit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Creator of the MOHAN VEENA and the winner of the GRAMMY AWARD, Pt. Vishwa Mohan has mesmerized the world with his pristine pure, delicate yet fiery music. It is due to Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt’s maiden mega effort that he rechristened guitar as MOHAN VEENA, his genius creation and has established it at the top most level in the mainstream of Indian Classical Music scenario, thereby proving the essence of his name VISHWA (meaning the world) and MOHAN (meaning charmer) and indeed , a world charmer he is.

And today I got up at 5.15 AM, early in the morning, to reach venue before 6.30 AM to attend concert on Early Morning Ragas at Ravindra Natya Mandir, Prabhadevi by Ms Nandini Bedekar, young and very talented artist. She Sang Raga Ahir Bhairav, Raga Devgiri Bilaval and Bhairvi.

However what I missed last week was ITC Sangeet Samelan in Nehru Centre and Ms. Shruti Sadolikar Katkar’s concert in particular yesterday, late in the evening. My laziness, what else ?

Ms.Shruti-Sadolikar has an amazing voice, I also like Veena Shashrabuddhi and Ashwini Bhide...Powerful voices, Indeed.
