58th Sawai: Shri Anand Bhate (Vocal)

Main Artist: Shri Anand Bhate (Vocal)
Sangatkar:
Tabla: Bharat Kamat
Harmonium: Suyog Kundalkar
Tanpura: Vinay Chitrav, Shri Badrayani

Anand started his performance with raga Marubihag (bada khyal in
vilambit Ektaal - rasiya aao na, chhota khyal in madhyalaya Teentaal -
tarapt raina dina).

Right from the beginnig Anand's voice was in great shape. Ragavistaar
was systematic, unhurried and did full justice to every note.
Swaralagav was powerful and full throated. Taans were well planned and
superbly executed. Obviously Anand's singing is highly influenced by
Bhimasenji's style but today I also felt some influence of Kesarbai's
Marubihag - especially the aakaar taans (or is it just me?). Some
dazzling long taans spanning three octaves were sung with a great
style and finesse during the chhota khyal.

Anand continued his performance with a dadra - jadu bhareli kaon
alabeli tore naina rasile.

Anand concluded his performance with a Kannada bhajan - saubhagyada
lakshmi baramma).

Bharat Kamat and Suyog Kundalkar provided excellent tabla and
harmonium sangat respectively. Especially the simple layadar Teentaal
theka Bharat Kamat played was lajawab.

Overall a superb performance!
