Recorded in Guptipara, West Bengal, India in 2015.
Raag Bhimpalasi; Thaat: Kafi; Samay: Afternoon
Debasmita Bhattacharya on sarod, Debasmita performs Raag Bhimpalasi from the Kafi thaat. This is a very unique and special performance.
Debasmita Bhattacharya is one of India’s finest young sarod players, representing the rich musical tradition of her native Kolkata. Her style blends the expansive mindset of modern musicians with an old-school patience. She began learning with her sarodi father Debashish Bhattacharya, then entered the tutelage of the late maestro Buddhadev Das Gupta. She made an acclaimed UK debut in 2017, and continues to demonstrate that gender should be no barrier to instrumental mastery. “[The sarod] is considered as a male dominated instrument…I accepted the challenge and every morning I try to prove myself by improving my playing...music has no boundaries...it is only for the human.”
