Pandit D. V. Paluskar... Langar Turak. Raga Kalyan

(Requested By Prof. Faruq Hassan.Montreal)

Pandit ji was born in Kurundwad a small village near Kolhapur on 28th May 1921.
He was only ten years old when his father died, and was subsequently trained by Pandit Vinayakrao Patwardhan and Pandit Narayanrao Vyas. He was also trained by Pandit Chintamanrao Paluskar and Pandit Mirashi Buwa.
D.V. Paluskar gave his debut performance at the Harvallabh Sangeet Sammelan in Punjab at the age of fourteen. He inherited the Gwalior gharana and the Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, but he was always open to adopting aesthetic features of other gharanas and styles.
He had a very sweet and melodious voice. His alap clearly outlined the raga he sang; this was followed by the bandish embellished by beautiful taans in an effortless enchanting style. He was a master at presenting an attractive and comprehensive picture of a raga in a very short duration. He cut his first disc in 1944 and visited China as a member of the Indian cultural delegation in 1955.
Besides pure classical music, he was also a great bhajan singer.
He is also famous for an unforgettable duet with Ustad Amir Khan in the film Baiju Bawra.[2] The only other film he sang for was a Bengali film called Shaap Mochan.
1921- 1955 (age 34 years)

Also please put "Langar Turak" in the title/tag if possible...the title might be more popular as a search for this bandish...

What a silken smooth voice - can be only God's Gift. What a pity that he died so young - a terrible loss to Hindustani Classical Music.
