59th Sawai: Smt. Ashwini Bhide-Deshpande (vocal)

Sangat:
Tabla: Bharat Kamat
Harmonium: Tanmay Devchakke
Tanpura: Sayali Oak, Dhanashree Ghaisas and Sayali Kalyanpur

Ashwiniji started her performance with raga Marwa - bada khyal in vilambit Teentaal 'piya more ananta'. Ashwiniji's voice was in a great shape right from the start. Ragavistaar was done very systematically. The meends landing on komal rishabh were sublime. The tara shadja was sung with great conviction and a lot of power. It has been a long time since I have heard such a well sung tar shadja in Marwa. Taans were tastefully composed and sung with a great finesse. Bada khyal was followed by chhota khyal in drut Ektaal 'mhayeere saanja bhayee' - a beautiful composition sung superbly.

Ashwiniji continued her performance with raga Bihagada (kahase tuma mada pi aaye ho saware - madhyalaya Rupak followed by raina dina kaise kate ri guiya).

Ashwiniji concluded her performance with an abhang (aata kothe dhave mana tujhe charan dekhaliya).

Tanmay Devchakke and Bharat Kamat provided excellent harmonium and tabla sangat respectively.

Overall a very well thought performance that will stay in memory for a long time.
