Sitar Concert - Sunday 8th October - 2023 - by Ustad Hafiz Bale Khan & Ustad Rais Bale Khan
Ustad Hafiz Bale Khan & Ustad Rais Bale Khan
MUSICAL JOURNEY
Their music exemplifies the best of sitar, incorporating all aspects of Gayaki Ang (the reproduction of the sung notes). Hafiz & Rais have a way of drawing in the listener to connect with the essence of raga, which he achieves with his devotion to traditional Gayaki Ang and old Garts of his family tradition. Intellectually, they have explored and understood the distinctiveness of Khandani baaj (family’s way of playing – which is a specialization within the Gharana itself). Their versatility in singing khayal, thumri, ghazal, Kannada vachana, dasara padas, and Marathi Abhangs have won them prestigious awards like - "Guru Gangadhar Pradhan Award" in 2011, "Sursingar" award in Mumbai and "Kala Shree" award in Pune in 2019.
