57th Sawai: Shrikant Deshpande (vocal)

Main artist: Shrikant Deshpande (vocal)
Tabla: Pandurang Mukhde
Harmonium: Prabhakar Pandav
Tanpura: Sudhkar Chavan, Sanjay Garud and a couple of names that I did not catch

Shrikantji started his concert with raga Puriya Dhanashree (khyal in
vilambit Ektal - sumir tero naam, Teental bandish - payaliya jhanakar
mori and a drut Teental tarana). This was followed by a mishra Kirvani
thumri - nadan soch samajha nahi pave. Shrikantji sang the abhang
kanhoba tujhi ghongadi changali.

Puriya Dhanashri presentation was systematic and leisurely - true to
the Kirana style. However compared to Shrikantji's performance during
the last year's Sawai I found this to be a bit pale. His voice sounded
somewhat tired today(must have taken the toll being the main
organizer).

Pandurang Mukhade and Prabhakar Pandav provided appropriate tabla and
harmonium sangat.
