Kajri - Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty

Kajri performed by Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty.
Ajoy Chakrabarty was born in Bengal to Ajit Chakrabarty in a Hindu Brahmin family. They moved to India from his homeland, Bangladesh during the partition and raised his two sons in Shyamnagar. His younger brother, Sanjay Chakrabarty is a noted composer and music therapist.
His daughter, Kaushiki Chakrabarty is also an upcoming talent of Hindusthani classical music.
Chakrabarty was a disciple of Ustad Munawar Ali Khan. He is also a first class graduate from the Rabindra Bharati University.
Chakrabarty showed extraordinary promise in vocal music and at the tender age of three, began taking lessons from his father Ajit Chakrabarty. He then learnt from Pannalal Samanta and Kanai Das Bairagi and later became a student of Padma Bhushan Pandit Jnan Prakash Ghosh. In 1969, his training took a decisive turn as he became a disciple of Ustad Munawar Ali Khan, son of the legendary maestro of the Patiala-Kasur gharana (school), Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. He is notable for imagination and sensitivity to lyrics, coupled with his uncanny sense of rhythm.

Superb performance of Kajri by Pt. Ajoy Chakraborty, one of my most favourite piece of Indian classical music.

Indeed, this is Kajri at its best - as supreme as his renderings of all othe rforms of classical, light classical, traditionaland all light forms of north Indian music. But, he is not limited to North Indian music; his mastery is ever expanding to Karnataka music too.
