Shankar Mahadevan at Sawai Gandharva 2011

[shukdu]

Fusion ? Confusion ?

@chakram2008 : Good one but give it to the guy, you are listening to Shankar. :) Yes, he should have just stayed in one place and kept the same angle.

To Tejas: Thanks dude, next time, just leave the camera alone. I know you were excited in capturing all angles and the audiences.

@nandanslife : It's a vitthal bhajan. Supposedly sung in first person by Saint Dnyaneshwar.

[kkrdgulzar]

@nandanslife : There are several abhangs (poems) here. Every line was different. Anything particular that caught your attention? I will try.

@AshmanJoshi - Tyachya ardha takka jari taan ghevun dakhavlis tar aapan maanla tula....

Ugach vicharanchi devaan ghevaan kashala na....

[Ashmanjoshi]

@kaustubhvaze .. Mr Vaze.. how come people like you have an issue when somebody has a viewpoint which does not match yours. vicharanchi devaan ghevaan karnyakarta tarach ha comment section ahe. youtube never said u can comment only if u like the video. So just shut up and let people who know what they are saying do the commenting. U just suck it up and chill.

[kaustubhvaze]

@Ashmanjoshi - Forget it. No point expressing a viewpoint just because u have it....

Anyways....chill man....did not mean to hurt your feelings in any way.....which I apparently did....kaaran dukhla tarach manoos oradto....

[damlejs]

Thank you Tejas for sharing this beautiful video clip...

[Ashmanjoshi]

chan gaato.. pun is Sawaii the stage for this? I wonder?

[ajitsdeshpande]

@Ashmanjoshi - Pls. clarify what is 'this'. This is festival to celbrate music(singing, instrumentals), dance and some other art forms.

[ajitsdeshpande]

@Ashmanjoshi More over when these classical abhangvani is rendered in a novel manner without damaging its inherent bhakti bhaav and mool gabha , it reaches more people and people appreciate that even more. So pls. either present a good case or just listen.

[Ashmanjoshi]

@ajitsdeshpande ... I thought there is freedom of speech in this country. Anyways the intent was to say that although he was outstanding this was probably not the stage for a performance of 'this 'type. If u attended the kathak performance thats exactly what happened. They had fusion music which after a while just impures the basic traditional tayyari.

[Ashmanjoshi]

@ajitsdeshpande-The question of course remains that are we wanting crowdpullers.. in that case it should be Sonu Nigams turn next time cos he is a very technically sound and one of the finest singers we have in bollywood today who I am sure can sing any abhanga pretty well if he is asked to.

[ikam215]

@Ashmanjoshi I agree with you. Not sure what he is trying to prove here mixing all the songs together

[honestngood]

@Ashmanjoshi - then what is?

[RahulBhagurkar]

Thank You Tejas........
