Swar Utsav 2000 In the stunning open-air ambience of a specially erected stage at the Central Park in Connaught Place, some of the best and leading musicians from across the subcontinent gathered to give electrifying performances. In this five-day long festival, in the session of Songs of Devotion, Veena Sahasrabuddhe sang from an eclectic mix of bhakti poets. From the sagun poets she chose the blind devotee of Krishna, Surdas, the Mewari princess Meera and that articulator of the marginal aspirations, Raisdas. The nirgun side of bhakti poetry found representation in her rendering of that rebel weaver-poet Kabirdas from Benaras. |
