The awesome burden of lineage sits heavily on young shoulders. However, there are some for whom it is a sacred responsibility to carry on and even enhance their inheritance. It is young musicians such as these who have propagated and enriched our music through the millennia and are responsible for its continuum. Smt Kamaltai Tambe of Jaipur initiated Shounak Abhisheki, son and disciple of late Jitendra Abhisheki, of Agra gharana, into music. Gifted with a voice that is strong, sweet and power packed and backed by intensive tutelage, Shounak is set to take the music world by storm. In this concert recording, the young artiste has started with raga Gavati, followed by raga Triveni, a compound of three ragas with a tarana in raga Shree and finally comes a dadra in raga Mishra Khammaj. |
