@KL3RIC The song is about Narrotam Das Thakur, a saint of the Gaudiya Vaishnava lineage, who learned DRUPAD (very complicated classical hindustani vocal form) as depicted in the end of this clip, for his public kirtan performances.
This is Bengali Padyavali 'Lila' kirtan, a distinctly bengal-originated form...that is influenced by Hindustani North Indian classical...i would call this semi-classical.
@ChristianAMR hi christian . but in my ears it sounded more like hindustani classical than carnatic . there are dozens of songs that goes with the words 'barase badariya ' specially in raag megha , malhar etc .
but like you , im happy to see bengal's kirtan up in youtube . jai
Even for a non bengali like me, it is very attractive because it is acted out in a very lively way.Felt like going back to the era of Mahaprabhu!!! All glories to Narotam Das and his bhajans......
@halleygoswami
