Those who have interest in Bengali films, arts, recitations and music… Sabyasachi Chakravarty, Bratati Bandhopadhyay and Shonali Nath may be 3 of the cherished names. And perhaps when they collaborate and work with Tagore’s work, anyone can expect miracles.
And that is why I couldnt really resist its temptation 😉
Was a bit dissapointed, but once I went to the flow, I am loving it even now…
Why I loved it?
Fusion of thinly related items with Rabindrasangeet has been in fashion, of late. After the copyright has been lifted, intellectuals experiment with Tagores’ work to give it a new avatar. Previously we have seen the Baul mix with Rabindrasangeet, Ustad Rashid Khan and Nachiketa mixing raagas with Rabindrsangeet, Bickram Ghosh came out with his rendition of Rabindrasangeet with highly coupled percussion.
But this effort is very simple, yet unique and touched my heart.
There are poems/extracts recited from different Tagore texts, followed by Rabindrasangeet instrumentals. The concept is by Supriyo Nath, this is unique concept and I am totally in love with it. And I had always been in love with Bratati Bandhopadhyay’s recitation (elocution). She perhaps has the most elegant voice in the world today.
The Hawaiian guitar mixed with the other instruments has created magic.. Listen to it when you are alone, and its like the 9th heaven you shall be in ! Calm, soothing ever flowing Tagore..
