I can't leave my computer, I am absolutely addicted to her beautiful voice. What a talent! Is she related to Ajoy Chakrabarty? Please confirm my reply and I truly appreciate your kind response.

[kingChess1]

Yes, yes, yes! She is the daughter of Ajoy Chakrabarty.

Peace!

Madhuvanti is such an appropriate name to this Rag. The feeling of sweetness is so unique. I have a feeling that the ragas like Madhuvanti might have been discovered after the mainstream rag such as yaman. It is not an 'obvious' rag. For that matter, Bhatiyar might have come after Marwa. One has to marvel at the genius of the founder and named it Madhuvanti. This rendition is of the same caliber as the gem 'Rashme Ulfat' composed by the great Madan Mohan

the starting so appealing and a voice of a gem.

kya baat hai.

puts me in a different state of mind.

god bless you!

There is difference between singer and artist - difference between singing and rendering. She is a good singer - can become a good artist. Style is so typical of Ajoy Chokroborthy. Good Patiyala style.

i m speechless @ voice. a tribute to her GURU

@tybalbulba You are welcome. R8rdarklord is how the fans call the owner of an american football team that I follow. I thought it is a cool internet name, therefore I use it. There is very little of the darklord in me.

@r8rdarklord

It helps indeed!Thx again!!I'll try to imagine subtilities of the words sounds with this traduction :)

Would be better if i understood Hindi but nobody is perfect ;)

For a darklord u're kinda sympathetic ;)

[PiroozAzDirooz]

Cosmic. Spiritual. A way to communicate with and beckon Cosmos, or is it Cosmos communicating with us through this beautiful medium?

[r8rdarklord]

@r8rdarklord She then advises: Gandh maal se anga sajao - you should preen yourself with perfumes and flower

vividh dhanga se gaao bajao - entertain him in many ways through song and music

pritam ki ab preet haro - do all you can to win your love.

On second thoughts, the translation lacks the poetic beauty of the couplets. The meaning is straight forward but when rendered with the poetry has amazing effect. Hope this helps.

@tybalbulba Ok got it. Background is - Two females are talking to each other, when one asks:

Kahe = Why Maan = love, respect & preparation, sakhi ri ab = My friend now

The other one replies because: bahut dinan me = After an extended absence piya ghar aaye = your lover has come home.Vako manao, rijhao, dheer dharo = you should with patience, use every trick to make him feel happy & fulfilled

[tybalbulba]

@r8rdarklord Thx to u for answering!!

But i mean an english translation :)

I don't understand Hindi lyrics ;) Tht's why i'm a bit nervous,this music is so beautiful with her voice and i really wish to understand lyrics :)

Maybe i will one day:)

@ribandarcho mdhuvanti is one of the ragas in carnatic classical - dharmavati is the janaka raga of madhuvanti; in hindustani classical this raga is exactly like multani with rekhab & dhaivat shuddha; this is under Todi thaat

[r8rdarklord]

@tybalbulba Here is the bandish:

Here you go:

Sthayi: Kahe maan karo sakhi ri ab

Bahut dinan par piya ghar aaye

Vako manao, rijhao dheer dharo (she changed this line, this is how I was taught)

Antara: gandh maal se use sajao

vividh dhang se gao bajao

pritam ki ab preet haro.
