57th Sawai: Raja Kale (vocal)

Main Artist: Raja Kale (vocal)
Tabla; Nana Mulay
Harmonium: Uday Kulkarni
Tanpura: Sham Joshi and Amruta Kale

Rajabhau started his performance with raga Todi (khyal in vilambit
Ektal - raj karo tum, bandish in madhyalaya Teental - eri mayi aaj
shubhamangal gavo). Todi was followed by Alhaiya Bilawal (khyal in
vilambit Teental - reha re kanhai, bandish in drut Ektal - roke dharo
gel mori ho to nandala). Rjabhau sang Bhairav-Bhatiyar next (bandhish
in madhyalaya Teental - karam karo mope sai). Rajabhau sang an abhang
(saguna sampanna pandharichya raya) to conclude the performance.

The badhat during the sthayi sounded a little shaky but Rajabhau's
voice warmed up beautifully when the tar Shadja came and antara
started. The layakari was simple but beautiful. The taans quite crisp.

Nana Mulay and Uday Kulkarni provided good tabla and harmonium
support. Unfortunately the vocal support was not upto the mark.

Overall a very surel performance devoid of unnecessary stunts. I like
it this way. Good show!
