Yaman| Ronkini Gupta| Jan Fest -2024| Live Performance

It was my biggest privilege to be on this stage, in my Alma mater St .Xavier's College, where I studied 2 decades back and heard artistes of incredible stature including #kishoriamonkar ji #ptjasraj ji #shubhamudgal ji and #parveensultana ji... it was my utmost honour to grace this stage along with my most able accompanists
Shri Ashish Ragwani (Tabla)
Shri Deepak Marathe (Harmonium).

This is also special because I have sung two of my original bandishes
set to 7 beat (Rupak)
Shringaar karoon Aaj
priyatam tori baiyyan bani gal haar
Kaajar bindiya na bhaaye
Kangna Jhumka na suhaaye
Jo tope diyo tann Mann baar...

set to addha teental (ikwaai)
kanankhiyon se na dekho saiyyaan ji
laaj se laal laal ho jaaoon ji
tori ye bansuriya kaafi hai kanha
haal haal behaal ho jaoon ji....

I ended with a Tarana composed by Ustad Bahadur Khan and made popular by Ustad Rashid Khan and Vidushi Ashwini Bhide ji.
Taa Nom dir dir ...

I take this opportunity to upload this memorable performance.
