The Chinmaya Center concert went well, I thought. I did a 90-minute set:<\/p>\n
Maru Bihag: “Unhi se jaaye”<\/em> in vilambit ektaal; “Kaahe bajaaye daayi ho Shyam”<\/em> in tintaal; “Sun sun tori batiyaa”<\/em> in drut ektaal.<\/p>\n Paraj: “Chandani raat ati bhaave sakhi”<\/em> in tintaal.<\/p>\n Desh: Tarana in tintaal<\/p>\n Surdaas bhajan: “Ankhiyaan Hari darasan ki pyaasi”<\/em><\/p>\n Bhairavi thumri: “Jamuna ke teer”<\/em><\/p>\n Chris Pereji played tabla, George Ruckert was on harmonium and Vijaya Sundaram on tamboura and supporting vocals.<\/p>\n This was the longest span of time I’ve sung in quite a while, as I’ve been gradually (veeeeerrrrrry gradually) recovering from an acid reflux condition that’s damaged my vocal chords over the past couple of years. I’m definitely on the mend, which is tremendously cheering.<\/p>\n Chris gave nice supportive theka; George was his usual preturnaturally alert self; Vijaya’s vocal sangat felt lovely. People liked it. I liked it.<\/p>\n The good news is that I got a recording off the PA board. <\/p>\n The bad news is that it (WTF?) has my voice mixed so low as to be inaudible. People in the hall said they could hear me clearly, and I was coming through the monitors nicely, so I’m baffled as to what mix the PA guys were giving me. Dammit. I’m told there was a video recorded; I hope that at least turns out properly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Chinmaya Center concert went well, I thought.
