57th Sawai: Pt. Nagnath Wodiyar (vocal)

Main artist: Pt. Nagnath Wodiyar (vocal) - student of Gangubai Hangal
Sangat:
Tabla: Bharat Kamat
Harmonium: Avinash Dighe
Tanpura: Vasudev Karekar and Megha Wodiyar

Panditji started his performance with raga Multani (gokul gav ke
chhora - khyal in vilambit Ektal followed by madhyalaya Teental
bandish - aaj bajat badhai). Raga Multani was followed by a bhajan -
aaj sakhi sadguru ghara aye in a raga that sounded like Bhinna Shadja.

Sadly while the glimpses of solid Kirana talim were quite visible,
this was an off colour performance with Panditji's voice sounding
shaky and tired.

Bharat Kamat and Avinash Dighe provided good tabla and harmonium sangat.

Sound systme (power?) problems caused a 10 minute disruption at the
begining of the performance.
