Raag Bilaskhani Todi - Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty

Hindustani Vocal recital of Raag Bilaskhani Todi by Pt. 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.

Vilambit ki ruh ko jagah diya, Panditji ne. Subhan Allah this is one of his stand out recitals and he meanders through bilaskhani todi at his own pace giving life to each syllable …….celestial

One of the best vocal recital in Bilash Khani todi...

[@maheshshevade2764]

One of the best Vilaskhyani I have ever heard; especially "Kharj" swar are unique👍

[@Bhaskar984]

Tansen's son Bilas Khan created this beautiful raga by importing the Bhairavi notes into the structure of father's Miya Ki Todi. It requires great expertise to maintain the Todi mood with the Bhairavi notes. But Pandit Chakraborty does this beautifully.

The heart catching rendition indeed.Despite of learning from differnt GURUS ,Pt Ajayji has developed a unique style of his own with perfection,not only technically but alongwith the true aspect of ' BHAAV NIRUPAN'
