“How to send Saya Joe a foreign message”
While anger comes, the vortex gets angry
Araj Cart for everyone
Those who say we share love.
Senior musician Pt. Shankar Abhyankar is 88 years old (May 19). Because of that ..

In Ragdari music, compositions and composers revolve around specific topics. Mother-in-law and Nanand should play the villain forever. Their main business is to get demonic pleasure without the lover or heroine going to her lover or husband and resting in his arms. The sound of the ankles loosely tied around the heroine’s delicate feet disturbs the sleep of this mother – in – law and Nanda. And they create obstacles in the way of the heroine. From it, compositions like ‘Jhanjan Jhanjan Payal Baaje .. Jage Mori Saas Nandiya Aur Barania Zethania’ inspired colorful singers like Fayyaz Khan Khan Saheb.
When these mothers-in-law and nannies become overweight, the traditional musician leans towards those who are rarely called incarnations of Lord Krishna or Shiva. Listening to hundreds of exiles based on Krishnali, harassing and harassing helpless gopis by spraying colors on them seems to be Lord Krishna’s main business. Even a creative singer like Kumar Gandharva could not resist the temptation to create a ban like ‘Rang Na Daro Shamji’ in the tune of ‘Sohini’. Ragdari music is also plentiful in the compositions describing Lord Shiva as ‘Panchavadan Pinak Dharashiva Brishabhavahan Bhutanath’. Most of the compositions on Ramu come directly from the Tulsi Ramayana. Very melodic vocabulary emphasizes the literature of this expulsion. And when all this is done, all that is left is Gurubhakti. There is no end to her vision. Thousands of compositions expressing devotion, devotion or blind devotion to the Guru are still being written, composed and sung.
In such an environment, it is natural to take a different subject or deal with a different experience, enjoying the gentle breeze after a structure has come into view or enjoying the hot sun. Senior musician and composer Pt. Many of Shankar Abhyankar’s compositions have brought such unparalleled pleasure to artists and listeners. On May 19, the applicant turned 88 years old. His whole life was devoted to music. He is well known as a singer, teacher, satar player and composer. In addition, it is a touching ‘chronicle’ of experimental and experimental art such as music. Saw a musical journey from the 1930s to the present. And your keen gaze captures many historical moments. From that, his personality is colorful and great.
In the above prohibition, did they say how to send a message to a lover? The crow roars, and the fly also roars. Russell also to send a message with that cult. If the heroine makes all these requests .. they say we are waiting for our lover. This uniqueness touches the mind easily. Abhyankar’s composition ‘Sandesava Piyase Mora Kahiyo Ja’ is in ‘Chayanat’ tune. She is often heard from the medals of Veena Sahasrabuddhe and Asha Khadilkar. The captive heroine fights Lai and expresses her gratitude to him for the illusion.
Shankar Abhyankar has shown that environmental consciousness is also an element in Ragdari music. He narrated one of his compositions in the tune ‘Sankalyan’,
‘Suraj Chanda Agan Sameer, this is our whole life
This is the Panchamahabhuta, which takes life when life is angry! ‘
If a catastrophe like the Tsunami or Kovid-19 happened to humanity, how could a musician stay away from it? The pains and feelings caused by its creation are gone.

Abhyankar wholeheartedly considers Feroze Khan alias ‘Adarang’ of the 18th century as one of the pioneers of singing and Kumar Gandharva was his role model as a singer and composer. He and his son have a very close relationship. He is deeply rooted in Kumar’s personality and creativity. To the tune of ‘Deskar’, Kumar composed ‘Chidian Chunchunhani, Mangal Dhara Bani Hai Lubhai’. She came from Quick Trim. ‘Kuhun Kuhun Kukkar Rahi Koi Lia’, produced by Abhyankar in a quick monologue, reflects ‘birds’. His ‘Pehirva Aaja Aaja Re’ from ‘Puria Kalyan’ was very raging. This is their first composition. She once sang in memory of Shobha in Chabildas Hall. They do not know who the creators are. She was shocked when Prasad Savkar, who was present at the event, told Shobhatai about this. Among the singers and teachers who were expelled from Abhyankar were singers like Yashwant Bua Joshi, Raja Kale, Ashwini Bhide, Aarti Unklikar, Archana Kanhere. What is the moment of victory in the eyes of the aspirant? When asked, he said that Devasala Kumar had organized a special event for Abhyankar’s expulsion and at that time he himself had understood and realized Abhyankar’s compositions.
Abhyankar belongs to Satar. His father Krishnaji was a school master. The father, who is a music lover, desperately wanted his son and daughter to learn songs. With that sound Mirza Abdul Karim Khan took the children to Khansaheb. The question of how to teach such a small child came naturally to Khan Saheb. He kindly arranged for the family to stay for two days and listen to music day and night. Gajananbua learned from Joshi for a few days. A few days later Narayana Rao Vyas reached Dadar in Mumbai with his father Shankar. Narayana Rao was a famous singer of that time. His ‘Radhe Krishna Bol Mukhse’, ‘Sakhi Mori Kamzum’ etc. are eaten and played everywhere. Stayed with Narayana Rao and learned songs for 14 years.
He learned Satara from Narayana Rao’s brother Shankarrao Vyas. He played satar in Pandit. He studied the style of Ravi Shankar and Ustad Vilayat Khan Khansaheb and incorporated details. His play ‘Basant’ is often heard on Mumbai All India Radio. Ravishankar stamp appears on it. Narayana Rao Vyas gave them complete freedom to listen to any song / play. The advantage of this is that in the 1950s, he immersed himself in concerts in various places in Mumbai, especially at Deodhars School. Many artists like Bade Ghulam Ali, Aamir Khan Khan Saheb, Omkarnath, Kesharbai, Wamanrao Padhye, Latafat Hussain, Azmat Hussain watched and listened to it. Before hearing Kumar Gandharva, he was a devotee of Bade Ghulam. Of course, he studied everyone’s style, but did not follow the leadership of others. Because he promised Narayana Rao Vyas. It gives an idea of ​​their integrity. “The great thing about Ravi Shankar is that he ordered my expulsion book and scrutinized my compositions,” Abhyankar said.
I value Shankara as a historian. So that singing or playing is an oral art. And the oral history of music is also very important. Shankar Abhyankar witnessed many historical events. For example, in the film ‘Baiju Bavra’, Noushadji was asked who should give voice to the character of Baiju. Aamir Khan Khansaheb’s voice is a tough decision for Tansena’s character. Aamir Khan to Noushad V. There can be no one but Paluskar. Narayana Rao tested Paluskar’s voice in Vyas’ room. He started the song ‘Mharu Kavan Kaj Kavan Des Gayilo’ to the tune of ‘Marwa’ and in an instant it touched the delicate Rishabh tone of the tele saptakata. Aamir Khan immediately said to Naushadna “Yeh Hai Baijuki Awaaz”. At ‘Devdhars School’, Haldankar sang drama songs from the movies ‘Shankara’ and ‘Hamir’. Chade Rag and Haldankar were both in their prime stage when they were young. He was followed by Aamir Khan. “I will not sing today. Did this man have a sore throat? I’ll sing tomorrow. “
Kesharbai Kerkar, Omkarnath Thakur or other artists are worth hearing about their experiences of miracles in nature. Ravi Jaikarishan, c. Ramachandra, Noushad, S.K. D. While Burman was in the limelight, he suddenly succeeded in composing hit songs from ‘CID’, ‘Tumsa Nahi Dekha’ and ‘Naya Daur’. P. This is a Nair-like feat!
Abhyankar’s formal education is not so much. But his well-to-do wife, Dr. He formed himself in the company of Kamal Abhyankar. His thinking ability matured due to his sensitive mind and observational power. While on a tour of Poland, his son Ravi showed him the persecution of Auschwitz during the Hitler era. Seeing that, they have an honest question as to whether people worship and adore God. But is there really a God in the world? And if so, where was he at such a time? As soon as Mikhail Gorbachev ended his dictatorship in Soviet Russia with the Third Revolution, he had the opportunity to return to Russia. He came up with something out of the ordinary. She is like that. There is a board outside the shop with beer and freedom in one ruble. The shopkeeper gave him a ruble and he was waiting for beer. The shopkeeper said Gorbachev had given 50 kopecks of freedom and 50 beers. But beer is not available. So take back these 50 kopecks and improve the road!
An artist with an extraordinary personality who sees the vast expanse of Hindustani music and the whole life with a delicate and sharp vision!
