Music Review on Audio CD 'RaagRang' - Singer Jayadevi Jangamashetti
Though wished to derive more time for symposiums and performances during both days of event, I could only make it on 14 April morning and indeed, it was
refreshing starter to listen to powerful yet soulful renditions of Smt.Jayadevi
JangamashettI of Dharwad followed by Shri Shankar Hoogar.
Vachanas just flowed from Jayadevi's brilliant vocals, cutting through benumbed
veins in the form of verses - Pranatheyide Bhakthiyide, Haadidarenu,Akka
kelavva, Enna kaayavva,Kogile Chelva Kogile.
Needless to mention, Jaipur Gharana
Exponent in Jayadevi Jangamashetti lent meaning to rare speedy display of powerful
singing that reminisced legendary likes of
Sri Mallikarjun Mansur and Basavaraja
Rajguru.
I hasten to add furthermore. In her very
recent Lahari audio CD release ‘RaagRang’, Jayadevi Jangamashetti has presented Raag
Jounpuri, Sawan Kalyan and Sohini in an immaculately powerful vocals.
Dharawad being the power house of
Hindustani Classical music can be proud of talented Jayadevi who not only
brings the best out of her chiseled vocals, but also, undoubtedly creates an aura of her
own through layakari, sensible gayaki and tehraav. Intrinsic aptitude in reaching
all 3 octaves with such ease without cutting through sensitive surili sargam web bears signature on her undeniable talent.
Way to go
and a 'must buy audio CD 'RaagRang' for all connoisseurs of music...!
