58th Sawai: Debapriya Adhikari (Vocal) and Samanvay Sarkar (Sitar)

Main Artists: Debapriya Adhikari (Vocal) and Samanvay Sarkar (Sitar) -
Jugalbandi
Tabla: Ramdas Palsule
Tanpura: Samiksha Bhobe

The artists started with raga Desi (alap, jod, bandish in madhyalaya
Rupaktaal - mana tu dhir dharo, bandish in drut Teentaal - gunda gunda
la ri malaniya).

The alap were surel, leisurely and systematic. Jod featured
interesting meendwork involving kharaj (mandra shadja) progressing all
the way to tar Shadja. The bandish was a beautiful composition with
sam at tar Shadja. Taans were well thought, well rehersed and very
well coordinated. The drut bandish presentation featured well executed
fast taans.

The artists continued their performance with a tapa-khayal in raga
Bahar (Adha Teentaal gulashan mein bulbul chahaki). Tappa style taans
were well presented by both the artists.

Ramdas Palsule provided very good tabla sangat. His solo pieces were
crisply played and were consistent with the raga presentation.

Overall a very interesting and memorable performance.
