Acclaimed singer Raghunandan Panshikar will certainly do at a homage performance ‘Unsung Kishori ‘in memory of well known Indian timeless singer and author Kishori Amonkar on January 11 at the National Centre for Performing Arts in Mumbai at Nariman Point.
In ‘Unsung Kishori ‘, Panshikar, that is a protégé of Amonkar and Mogubai Kurdikar, reveals unheard structures. The performance guarantees to be a special assemblage of songs and narration. As Panshikar humbly offers Amonkar’& rsquo; s uncommon structures, he will certainly weave in individual stories and representations from his years of training under the fabulous artist. The singer’s open voice, detailed layakari (balanced play), and unique taans show the Jaipur-Atrauli custom, while his stories and understandings supply an uncommon look right into Amonkar’& rsquo; s globe.
Kishori Amonkar (1931– 2017) redefined Hindustani symphonic music, leaving an enduring mark as both a singer and author. Her virtuosity integrated extensive proficiency with unrivaled psychological deepness. From khayals to thumris and bhajans, Amonkar’& rsquo; s efficiencies were a testimony to her idea that songs without bhava (feeling) is insufficient.
Besides being a singer of amazing quality, she was likewise among the excellent authors of her time. Her sentence that there can be no songs without ‘bhava ‘( sensation), was consistently mirrored in her efficiency and the structures she developed. Compositions like ‘& lsquo;Sahela Re Aa Mil Gaaye’ & rsquo;, & lsquo;Nainawa Barase & rsquo; or & lsquo;Ganapata Vighan Harana & rsquo; left an impact on audiences long after she quit executing them. Interestingly, a large corpus of structures exists which the fabulous artist made up, yet never ever carried out. These consist of a number of bandishes in numerous ragas in addition to bhajans, abhangas and also ghazals.
