- The one who conveys, communicates and thus shares deep beauty of music, with anyone, is very rare. In the realm of the Sitar, such a one is Nikhil Banerjee. In this regard he is widely respected and considered as the Sitar Samarat...Emperor of Sitar. Sitar in the hands of Nikhlji becomes an extension of his Soul and His essence that is conveyed through a Raga.
In this Raga Mishra Khamaj, Nikhil Banerjee has excelled himself and presents a perfect gift that connects with the listener in unimaginable ways. It is a masterpiece that belongs in the Annals of Masterpieces of Music and it occupies a very special place within the heart of the listener.
Nikhil Banerjee has performed Kafi in various forms. Misha Kafi, Zila Kafi. Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande's classification of the Ragas has ten different logical groups, consisting of various closely related ragas; Kafi is one of them.
Raga Kafi has come to us from folk music. To those growing up in India with all its ambient cultural input, ragas such as Kafi, Bhairavi, Pahadi and Piloo scarcely require formal instruction.
S, RgMP, M P D (M)g R
This recurring phrase and the avarohi termination on R are characteristic of Kafi.
A ‘pure’ version of Kafi is seldom heard in performance; almost all instances fall to the “Mishra Kafi” lot.
Lata Song: Bairan neend aa Aaaye is based on this Raga Mishra Kafi.

The alaap was extremely dangerous, Nikhilbabu was digging so deep, I thought my heart would be perforated through and through. Very close similarity with rabindrasangeet, that same melancholy, same nostalgia-filled evening descending on the seashore, the same wait for the unknown.
Listen to any sitar player, and then come back here and hear the first few notes, and your heart will open up, your intellect will stop, and the mind rests in the near perfect peace in this otherwise chaotic world sounds...
Highest Namaskaars to this pure gift from this supreme master of the Sitar.
Those who were fortunate enough to have listened to Nikhil Babu in live performances would know that he very rarely chose a 'light' raga like Kafi or Pilu for a hour long conccert. His meditative and spiritual approach mostly led him to 'gambhir' ragas like Sree or Chandrakaush or Lalit. But even on very rare occasions when he used to take up these so called 'light' ragas, his approach was never amorous (as was the case with many instrumentalists) but that of a seeker of the mysterious beauty of the infinity that surrounds us.

Except to listen, I have no capacity to put any comment on recital of God of Sitar and Tabla too. Incredible, splendid. Bairan need na aaye, mora jiya ghabraye....by Lata ji in the film Jailor.

কোনো দেখনদারি নেই,শুধুই সেতারের মিষ্টি আওয়াজ,আর ওনার হাত,সত্যি অসাধারন
Nikhil Banerjee: the most sublime, the very sublimest of them all. To me nothing compares.
