Featured Artist(s):
Ajoy Chakraborty - Vocal

Ajoy Chakraborty, one of the leading exponents of Patiala gharana chooses to sing two Carnatic ragas as an experiment in this album. Raga Abhogi and Hamsadhwani, both primarily Carnatic ragas, have been very well assimilated into the North Indian system. The maestro learnt these ragas from legendary Carnatic vocalist Dr M Balamurali Krishna and has had the honour of performing both the ragas with him. It is said that these ragas have limited scope but after listening to this album one realizes that just the pentatonic scale of these ragas does not deter from their scope of rendition. The artiste has also done full justice to one of the most popular Carnatic compositions in Hamsadhwani, Vataapi Ganapatim Bhajehum. |
