Tabla: Arvindkumar Azad
Harmonium: Suyog Kundalkar
Tanpura: Ruchira Kedar, Manasi Mujumdar
Girija Deviji started her performance with raga Jaunapuri (khyal in
vilambit Ektal - aas lagi more mana me, bandish in Teental - more
kanha...). This was followed by Bhairavi thumri (nahak laye gavanava).
Girija Deviji sang a hori - rang dalungi re (Mishra Khamaj?). After
this Girijaji sang a Dadra (Jhula? - divana kiye shyam kya jadu dala).
She concluded the concert with babul mora nai har chhutohi jaye
(Bhairavi)
The mukhada and sam of the bada khyal themselves convey the essence of
Jaupuri. Girija Devi's lagav of the komal nishad was simply
unforgettable and is an evidence of a lifetime of dedication to music.
I also enjoyed the other pieces - however I am inadequately equiped to
write about them. Interestingly in this concert Bhairavi was sung
twice and some other pieces were sung in between.
All sangatkars provided excellent support.
It was a very dignified performance by a musical stalwart.

PS:
Pt. Bhimsen Joshi arrived in the pandal in a car during this
performance. It was an emotional moment.
