But I also understand that music can transcend in strange beautiful ways.Heard about Kumar Gandharv and also his renditions.anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-58855968465208991102010-11-03T15:09:43.547+05:302010-11-03T15:09:43.547+05:30@Sandhya: Funny that we 'Southies' should ...@Sandhya: Funny that we 'Southies' should love Hindustani more than Carnatic, isn't it? :) <br /><br />I always found Hindustani more appealing to my aesthetic and emotional senses than Carnatic. <br /><br />Thank you for visiting. Hope to see more of you. Read your post on Veena S. Haven't heard of her till now. Will search for her music.Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-74810053828138459032010-11-03T14:54:02.975+05:302010-11-03T14:54:02.975+05:30@Kavitha: You must get "Avdhoota Bhajana of K...@Kavitha: You must get "Avdhoota Bhajana of KG, if you already haven't. Produced by RPG. There are other songs such as Ud gaya hans, Avdhoota, etc. Superb CD! <br /><br />There is another way one can make one's own CD. See www.hamaracd.com. The quality of their CDs are not so good, so as soon as you receive the CD transfer the music. But you get the chance to make your select CD. <br /><br />I checked out Sandhya's blog. I get goose bumps all the time I listen to Hindustani, be it vocal or instrumental. I have a special affinity for Kishori Amonkar.Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-18559598536295571902010-11-03T10:10:53.844+05:302010-11-03T10:10:53.844+05:30I have heard Kumar Gandharva in radio at nights in...I have heard Kumar Gandharva in radio at nights in the National programme of music, several years back, with my dad. He was a fan of Bhimsen Joshi and Kumar Gandharva. Many people in our family learnt Carnatic music and I am very familiar with it than Hindustani. Nowadays, I love to hear Hindustani music. The 'Sangeet Sarita' prog. in Vividh Bharati introduces us to the singers as well as music.<br /><br />I envy you for seeing and hearing KG in the ambience you have explained here so passionately. You get involved with music more in this atmosphere. <br /><br />Will check for the Documentary shortly.<br /><br />Nice knowing you Balachandran, thanks to Kavita!Sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478831923010850316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-76788410284489332902010-11-03T09:12:09.823+05:302010-11-03T09:12:09.823+05:30If time permits please read this post by ny dear f...If time permits please read this post by ny dear friend Sandhya -http://maradhimanni.blogspot.com/2010/10/have-goose-bumps-on-my-body-hearing.htmlKavita Sahariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342095914702911870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-14981982748027283762010-11-03T08:48:52.887+05:302010-11-03T08:48:52.887+05:30First time that i heard Kumar Gandharva was on DD ...First time that i heard Kumar Gandharva was on DD very long time back and he was singing -'koi sunta hai guru gyani '.We had black and white tv then,i was completely stunned by the magic of his voice .He wore a white dhoti- kurta and sang with his eyes closed and it between jerked his head alongwith the beats of tabla.For no reason i had tears rolling down throughout the song-it was so touching.<br /><br />I have not seen this documentary as yet .Thanks for the link ,i will check it right now.<br /><br />It feels wonderful to find that you too love K.G.!Kavita Sahariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342095914702911870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-2277002150561001042010-11-02T23:52:44.965+05:302010-11-02T23:52:44.965+05:30@doc: Say when!@doc: Say when!Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-18716249798297887412010-11-02T22:04:04.251+05:302010-11-02T22:04:04.251+05:30You probably enjoyed it in that ambience.The silen...You probably enjoyed it in that ambience.The silence and the peace of the night in the forest,and your spirits awakening..all together.<br />I havent heard much of Kabir after we left school, and I didnt have the opportunity to listen to this kind of bhajan.<br /> I know that recently one of the fusion bands took one of his poems and made an album.<br />We would give it a try, in the city background.dr.antonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191095888228061156noreply@blogger.com
