BAITHAK on DD Bharati - the other side of the moon

Post by Rsachi »

For some weeks now, DD Bharati features detailed sessions on Hindustani Music, moderated by a competent Vikram Lal, and featuring in a sitting several old and young musicians of a school or gharana, with accompaniment - who present and speak about their gharana in depth. It is a highly educative programme.

Just now is going on the first part of a session on Gwalior Gharana.
1. Founding Patron: Raja Man Singh Tomar (remember the serial Mriganayanee?)
2. Home to Tansen
3. World's first music school
4. Home to Dhrupad, moved on and founded Khayal, with ashtanga gayaki.

There was also mention of the song Babul Mora. Sung as he was leaving Lucknow under British duress by the rasika king Wajid Ali Shah, it's a moving song. Here are the text and music I found on it:
1. "Babul Mora Naihar Chhooto Hi Jaaye" on @Wikipedia:

2. Babul Mora Naihar Chhooto Jaye by Pt Bhimsen Joshi:
