Let's journey back in time to Darbar Festival 2023 when we were graced by the exceptional talent of Sarwar Hussain Khan.
Khan was born into an illustrious sarangi family. The son of Ustad Anwar Hussain and grandson of stalwart, Ustad Abdul Latif Khan Sahab, Khan has developed a style which gives the audience deeply stirring and richly coloured sounds. This is his UK debut performance where he will present his unique style of playing tappa, one of the most difficult forms of singing that is reproduced by his sarangi. Tappa was developed by Rajasthani folk musicians, who while riding on camels created an undulating sound as their bodies moved up and down, thereby creating this unique style. Khan is accompanied by the vibrant young tabla player, Patitundi, student of the late Pandit Subhankar Banerjee.
Raag Shree is a captivating raga in Hindustani classical music, renowned for its serene and introspective mood. Typically performed during the late evening, it belongs to the Kafi thaat and evokes feelings of devotion, longing, and melancholy. The raga features a delicate interplay of notes, with special emphasis on Ni (Nishad) and Re (Rishabh), creating a soulful atmosphere. Its ascending and descending patterns allow for deep exploration, drawing the listener into a contemplative state. Raag Shree is often associated with spiritual yearning, making it a favorite in both devotional music and classical performances, offering a profound emotional experience.
Recorded at Darbar Festival 2023, on 27th October, at the Barbican Centre, London.
