This rendering of Raga Lalit - khayal in vilambit ektala and drut teentala - is from the Sangeet Sartaj collection that pays tribute to the master vocalists Rajan and Sajan Mishra. These musical brothers are part of a 300-year-old lineage of khyal singing of the Banaras gharana. Starting from humble beginnings they went on to conquer the world of music with their talent. They were both accountants in a small shop when they gave a performance in the presence of Satguru Jagjit Singh. The Satguru, realizing their talent, offered to pay double their living wages in exchange for them to put in more time to practice their vocals. The rest, as they say, is history.
Enjoy and stay connected!
