Raag Shri by Bhuvanesh Komkali

[pareshshirdhonkar]

Very Nice, Bhuvan has potential to prove him to continue the viraasat of Late Kumar ji, Mukul shivputra,Vasundhara Tai and Kalapini Komkali, His voice is good, and can prove himself to perform more better with the time.

Ustad Ali Akbar's Shri on the sarod is absolutely mindblowing! On YouTube too

His extended play (45 rpm recording) jugalbandi with Pandit Ravi Shankar on the sitar is arguably the Gold Standard of the raga

ragsangeet, thank you for this beautiful post. I agree with ravanahead, Bhuvaneshji reminds one of the great masters gone by, which is no small thing in this age!

Shades of his grandfather, Kumarji, a true giant in the field of Hindustani music. Please post more of Bhuvnesh. His taans are reminicent of the razor sharp taans Kumarji used to produce out of thin air!

great! it would be an icing on cake if the text of the composition is made available!

@abhiramad007 I don't know this bandish but the one composed by Kumarji went something like this:

karana de re kaChu lalaare

va vo paraa jaa re, lele levo re |

eeko uThaale aakara koee

ye udhama kare, lele levo re ||

A really lovely and austere rendition of shri.

Bhuvan is very good.

But the best Shree rendition is by DV Paluskar, available on Utube
