About The Event
One of the main features of the Jaipur Gharana is its unusual repertoire characterised by the inclusion of Jod-ragas, in which two ragas are combined in such a way that both retain their individual identity, and yet create a distinct aesthetic atmosphere. Rendition of such ragas is indeed demanding, necessitating special training. A professor of English literature and linguistics, Rajshekhar Mansur has trained in music with his father and guru, the legendary doyen of Jaipur-Atrauli tradition, Mallikarjun Mansur. His music is greatly reminiscent of the maestro's style, in which Gwalior vocalism fuses beautifully with Jaipur-Atrauli traditions. Mansur will present jod-ragas and not so often heard morning ragas from the repertoire of Jaipur tradition.
This is a NCPA presentation and is going to be a wonderful experience.
