This masterpiece begins with the 'aalap' (a slow developmental rendering of the notes, and patterns of notes used in the song), accompanied by the constant drone of the mesmerizing tanpoora, building to include the rhythmic intricate sounds of tabla.

The complete recording is a sheer masterpiece of showmanship, skill and intensity of 'bhavana' or feeling, where CKJi exhibits his unbelievable masterful speed and dexterity, rendering tanas (or scales of notes) in a most wonderful and masterful way.

The full recording will be available soon from the CHANDUBABY CD COLLECTION here online.

 

#2. Television footage taken in 1984 in Bombay of Chandrakant singing 'aalap' for the begining of a piece.

A beautiful display of the mastery of notes by a master musician.

This is a precious one minute clip of a delightful hour long televeision interview and performance capturing the essence of CK's music.
