You Tube and Indian Music
Powered by eSnips.com You Tube has been the best thing happened to sample the live performances of those talented musicians who are not much in circulation with TRP savvy satellite TV channels. In a movie Vijeta directed by Govind Nihlani – song ‘ मन आनंद आनंद छायो.. ’ had made me aware of two names – ‘ Satyasheel Deshpande’ and ‘ Ajit Varman’. Both these names, I had not known before the movie nor got to hear them afterwards as well. You Tube have some samples of his ‘live performances’ but his website Satyasheel Deshpande is indeed an eye opener to realize his knowledge and depth of Indian classical music. I must be fortunate to attend live performance of both Vilayat Khan and Sujaat Khan – Father and Son Sitar Maestro duo. I attended Vilayat Khan’s when I must have been barely 12-13. It was at Girgaum Chowpati – for a charity show organized by Mai Aaji ( Mogubai Kurdikar). She also sang in this show alongwith her daughter Kishori Amonkar. Perhaps this was her last public show. www....
