Jugalbandhi in Raag Manj Khammaj, part 2 - tabla - Pdt.Mahapurush Mishra
A jugalbandhi (Dev. जुगलबंधी; also spelled jugalbandi) is a performance, in Indian classical music, featuring two solo musicians. The word jugalbandhi means, literally, "entwined twins." The duet could be either vocal or instrumental.
Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.http://www.ammp.com/aak.html*** "For us, as a family, music is like food. When you need it you don't have to explain why, because it is basic to life." -Ali Akbar Khan.****Born in 1922 in East Bengal (Bangladesh), Ali Akbar Khan (Khansahib) began his studies in music at the age of three. He studied vocal music from his father and drums from his uncle, Fakir Aftabuddin. His father also trained him on several other instruments, but decided finally that he must concentrate on the sarode and on vocal. For over twenty years, he trained and practiced 18 hours a day. After that, his father continued to teach Khansahib until he was over 100 years old, and left behind such a wealth of material that Khansahib feels he is still learning new things from it. Since his father's death in 1972, Khansahib has continued his father's tradition, that of the Sri Baba Allauddin Seni Gharana of Maihar and Rampur, India.********************** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikhil_B... Banerjee was born in Calcutta into a Brahmin family, where music as a profession was discouraged, although his father, Jitendranath Banerjee, who was a sitarist by hobby, taught him the instrument. Young Nikhil grew into a child prodigy, won an all-Bengal sitar competition at the age of nine and soon was playing for All India Radio. At the time, his sister was a student of khyal great Amir Khan, who became a life-long influence. Jitendranath approached Mushtaq Ali Khan to take the boy as a student, and Banerjee studied with him for his initial training. In 1947 Banerjee met Allauddin Khan, who was to become his main guru along with his son, Ali Akbar Khan. Both were sarod players. Banerjee went to Allauddin Khan's concerts and followed him around, and in the end even went so far as to threaten to kill himself if he was not accepted as a disciple. Allauddin Khan did not want to take on more students, but changed his mind after listening to one of Banerjee's radio broadcasts. After a short period of time spent with Allauddin Khan in Maihar, Banerjee went to study with his son Ali Akbar Khan for the rest of his training.
