Thanks avainash !

[arghanekar]

The music is simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing. After all these years, I never tire of listening to it.

[amindeepika]

This poem is by Kavi Anil - A.R. Deshpande - my grandfather.

[kedarkavekar]

@amindeepika - tyana maza pranaam saang! aprateem shabda ! :-)

[sumanniv]

@amindeepika Kavi Anil was a milestone in Marathi Poetry.father of Dashapadi, his earlier poetry was both romantic and idealistic. His critics had a complaint- "he is too easy to understand!"-tyanchi kavita Subodh aahe- durbodh naahi! I am however also an admirer of your granny- Kusumavati bai. I read their Kusumanil - a unique experiment this too- very early in life! Ajuni rusoon aahe- was it really a sort of obituary for Kusumavati?

Thanks to Avinash Desai for uploading this. Revived past memories.

[vinaypande]

achrekar master's accompaniment would do enormous justice to a nursery rhyme recitation.

[vinaypande]

wowwa wowwa wowwa !!

On the Holi festival day, Kumar Gandharva used to give a free concert in Indore. Since the concert hall was behind my house, I attended all of his cocerts. He was musical God to us youngsters. I also had the pleasure to listen to Ajay Pohonkar as a young artist. Mr. Kirkire, with the tanpura, was a family friend. He & his wife were disciples of KG.

@arun81501

You are lucky that you must have heard Kumarji live on many occasions.

Did you ever hear Bhanumatiji?

Never before, never after. Thats Shivputra Siddharamiya Komakali. Fortunate to be born to listen....

[srtambe]

Govindrao Patwardhan on harmonium, Vasantrao Aacharekar on tabla, Vasunadharabi Komkali on Tanpura

[srtambe]

And the poem is by the great poet 'Anil'.

[dreamer2000]

Vasantrao Acharekar is my maternal Grand father... He breathed his last on Kumarji's Lap.

[srtambe]

Vasantrao was Kumarji's constant companion, not only his accompanist, but a dear friend. I believe vasantrao's son also accompanied Kumarji later.

[dreamer2000]

Yes ... Vasantrao being my grandfather ... And his son , Suresh Acharekar being my mama.

[Uday2310]

How to Give Saath - Sangat to Vocalist.The Acharekar Master is THE BEST Example.He was a Great Tabla player.

[srtambe]

@Uday2310

Indeed yes. Also note the restrained but sweet harmonium saath by Govindrao Patwardhan

[Genmanclass]

@srtambe I am not sure if you all noticed it. The cute little girl is our own Ms Urmila Matondkar! But of course that is only incidental

[srtambe]

@Genmanclass

Yes of course, but such is the magic of the song that she becomes inconsequential

[sarpshe79]

Isn't this Bhimpalasi?

[mihemant]

Aaj chukun hya site var login kele, ani alibaba cha khajina sapadlyacha ananda zala...Panditjin cha asa performance baithakitla aikayla ani pahayla milne ha dugdha-Sharkara yogach mhanayla hava...

Again thanks for making all this collection available on net...

[yogeshwaryogeshwaryo]

YOU ARE GOD KUMARAJi, YOU ARE GOD, TAKE A BOW SIR

[chamogaa]

@yogeshwaryogeshwaryo. I agree that KG is musical divinity incarnate, but due precisely to that WE rather than he should bow, don't you think ? What a heavenly experience, indeed, listening to KG any time singing in any raaga ! outstanding upload, Avinash Desai.

[satawajirao]

Kumarji created a benchmark in each type of Music.Nobody can reach upto that level.....

[satawajirao]

aaaaah....what a divine swar.......

[srtambe]

I have already watched this half a dozentimes and still not satisfied.

Did you notice that he has worked on his Marathi and removed all traces of faulty pronounciations in this version?

[srtambe]

I have watched this clip at least half a dozen times, and still not satisfied.

Do you notice that he has worked and removed all traces of some wrong Marathi pronounciations in the original record?

Great work.

[srtambe]

An unusual achievement by the film producer to get Kumarji to sing for the film, As far as I know he never sang for any other film.

[agbansod]

this is from marathi film ZAKOL, starring sriram lagoo and sarala yewlekar

[srtambe]

What a wonderful listening and visual experience!

Many thanks.

The song is sung in quite different ways at some spots compared to the record.

It is a treat too to watch a young Shriram Lagu. Which film is this?
