We talked about some melodious tunes of Shankar Tucker in the last post. In his album The Shruti Box he has also collaborated with Nirali Kartik to produce an awesome bandish based on Raag Bheem Palasi. The mukhda of the bandish goes like this
Ja Ja Re Apne Mandirvaa Ja..
Nirali is a upcoming classical singer from Ahemdabad. Born & brought up in a musical family of Ahmedabad, she is related with Mewat Gharana. Their jugalbandi in this composition is so enchanting. that you can't have enough of it.
Infact Shankar has included some film based numbers also in his album. The notable among them is a song from Slumdog Millionaire. Then there are two numbers from Iyer Sisters : Vandana and; Vidya. Their rendation of a tamil bhajan Nee Nenaindal.. sung in praise of goddess Mahalakshmi has got tremendous popularity on the net.
All in all the debut album of Shankar Tucker is worth every penny. Hope we will hear much more from this talented musician in near future.
Pichhale ek hafte se main sa re ga ma pa ke apane pasandida pratibhagiyon ke baare men likhta aa raha hoon। sniti aur sugandha ke baad aaj baari thi is saal ke mere sabse chahete gayakranjeet rajwada ki। ranjeet ke baare men sochkar man men khushi aur dukh donon tarah ke bhaav aa rahe hain। khushi is sukhad sanyog ke liye ki jab ranjeet ki gaayiki ke baare men ye pravishti likh raha tha to mujhe pata chala ki aaj gajalon ke rajakumar kahe jaane vaale is bachche ka atharahavaan janmadin bhi hai। aur saath hi malal is baat ka bhi ki ranjeet ko sa re ga ma pa men sunane ka saubhaagya ab aage nahin milega kyoonki pichhale hafte sangeet ke is manch se usaki vidaai ho gai।
par is baat ka santosh hai ki hindi film sangeet ke parshvagayakon ko mauka dene vaale sa re ga ma pa ke manch ne ek khaalis gajal gayak ko bhi apani pratibha ham tak pahunchaane ka mauka diya। aaj ke meediya ki sabse badi kami yahi hai ki ve hamari shandaar saangitik virasat aur vibhinn vidhaon men maharat haasil kiye hue kalakaron ko sahi manch pradaan nahin karati। shastriya gaayiki ho ya soofi sangeet, lokageet hon ya bhakti sangeet, gazalen hon ya kavvaaliyan inhen bhi tivi aur redio ke vibhinn chainalon men utani hi tavazajah ki darakaar hai jitane purane nagmon aur aaj ke hindi film sangeet ko। par meediya ke sangeet v anya chainal sheela ki javani aur munni ki badanami se hi itane pareshaan hai ki is or bhala unka dhyaan kahan ja paata hai? jab tak sangeet ki hamari is anamol virasat ko fanakaron ke madhyam se nai peedhi tak nahin pahunchaya jaayega ye ummeed bhi kaise ki ja sakti hai ki unki tathakathit saangitik abhiruchi badalegi?
isiliye jab ranjeet ko aadishan ke vakat ye dil ye pagal dil mera ....gane par bhi chun liya gaya to mujhe behad khushi hui। sa re ga ma pa men unka safar aur umda ho sakta tha agar maananeeya mentaron ne unki pratibha se nyay karte hue unhen sahi geet ya gazalen di hotin। aaj ka yug vishishtataon ka yug hai। gaayiki ke is daur men rafi, kishor , manna de jaise harafanamaula gayak aapako kam hi milenge। pichhale dashak ke jaane maane gaayakon jaise sonu nigam, abhijeet, udit narayan, kumar shanu, alka yagnik, kavita krishnamoorti filmon men kam aur stej sho men jyada sune jaate hai। aaj to haalat ye hain ki har nami sangeetakaar khud hi gayak ban baitha hai। vishal bharadvaj, vishal, shekhar, saleem,shankar mahadevan isaki kuch jeeti jaagti misalen hain। in kathin haalaaton men sirf un gaayakon ke liye pahachaan banane ke avasar hain jinki gaayan shaili vishisht hai। soofiyat ka tadaka lagaana ho to rahat fateh ali khan, shafakat amaanat ali, kailash kher, rekha bharadvaj,richa sharma sarikhi aavazon ka sahaara liya jata hai। oonche suron vaale geet hon to fir sukhavindar aur daler paji apana kamaal dikhala jaate hain। meethe sur to shreya ghoshal aur hip hop to sunidhi chauhaan। jo jis shreni men avval hai usase vaisa hi kaam liya ja raha hai।
sa re ga ma pa ke manch se jab ranjeet rajavada ne gulam ali ki teen char gazalen badi kaabiliyat se ga lin to hamare moordhanya sangeetakaar vishal ji ko laga ki unake gaayan men koi vividhata nahin hai। bataiye vividhata ki baat vo shakhas kar raha hai jo khud sirf hip hop vaale vaise geeton ko gata raha hai jisamen khoob urja (bahut logon ko lagega ki shor sahi shabd hai) ki aavashyakta hoti hai। agar rajavada se vividhata ke nam par gulam ali ke alava anya mashahoor gajal gaayakon ya purani hindi filmon ki gazalen gavaai jaati to ye fanakar sama baandh deta par unhen kaha gaya ki haaramoniyam chhod kar kuch doosari tarah ka geet chuniye। lihaza ranjeet ne kuch filmi geeton par bhi mazabooran haath aazmaya। natija sifar raha। vo to unki gajal gaayiki se mil rahi lokapriyata thi jo unhen itani saadharan prastuti ke baad bhi bacha le gai।
ranjeet rajasthan ke ek nimn madhyam vargeeya parivar se taalluk rakhte hain। pita ko sangeet ka shauk tha par sangeet ke kshetra men kuch karne ki lalak ko vo falibhoot na kar sake। par bete men jab unako vo pratibha nazar aai to unhen laga ki jo vo apani zidagi men na kar paaye shayad beta kar de। ranjeet ne bhi hotal men kaam karne vaale apane pita ko nirash nahin kiya। chirnji lal tanavar se sangeet seekh rahe ranjeet ne pahle chhoti moti pratiyogitaayen jeeti aur fir 2005 men tatkaaleen rashtrapati se baalashri ka khitab paaya। agale saal aal indiya rediyo dvara bhi sarvashreshth gayak ka inam bhi jeeta। lata di aur sonu nigam jaise maane hue kalakar unhen yahan aane se pahle sun chuke hain। agar aapane abhi tak ranjeet ko gaate dekha suna nahin to ye kaam avashya karen।
dikhne men duble patle aur dame ki beemari se peedit jab ranjeet gaate hain to ek or to haaramoniyam par usaki oongaliyan thirakti hain to doosari taraf gajal ki bhavanaaon ke anuroop usaki aankhon ki putaliyan। ranjeet ne gajal gaayiki ke purane swaroop ko bade salike ke saath in chand hafton men sangeet premi janta tak pahunchaane ka jo kaam kiya hai, usake liye unki jitani prashansa ki jaaye kam hai। aaj antarajaal par jagah jagah log ranjeet rajavada ki gaayiki ki misalen dete nahin thak rahe hain aur khushi ki baat ye hai ki iska bahut bada hissa vaise yuvaaon ka hai jinhonne gajal ko kabhi theek se suna hi nahin।
sa re ga ma pa ke is safar men ranjeet ne jyadatar apane pasandida gajal gayak gulam ali ki gazalen gaayeen। hangama hain kyoon barapa thodi si jo pi li hai...., chupke chupke rat din aansu bahaana yad hai..., ye dil ye pagal dil mera.... , aaj jaane ki jid na karo... in sab ki prastutiyon men unhonne khoob taaliyan batori par mujhe unki sabse behatareen prastuti tab lagi jab unhonneyad piya ki aaegaya। raghubeer yaadav ke sammukh gaaye is geet men ranjeet ko deepak pandit ki voyalin aur baansuri par paaras jaise nami saajakaron ke saath gane ka mauka mila aur unhonne is avasar par apane suron men koi kami nahin hone di। to suniye ranjeet ki ye prastuti
ranjeet aapako ek baar fir se apane atharahaven janmadin ki badhaai। meri shubhakamna hai aap gajal gaayiki men jis mukaam par itani chhoti umr men pahunche hain usamen aap khoob tarakki karen aur riyaz ke saath saath apane swasth ka bhi dhyaan rakhen।
sa re ga ma pa par ubharati pratibhaaon ke baare men baat karte hue pichhale hafte aapase baat hui sniti mishra ke baare men। par aaj ki ye pravishti hai sugandha mishra ke baare men। sniti ki tarah hi sugandha bhi shastriya sangeet ki ubharati hui gaayika hain। sa re ga ma pa ke is saal ke pratibhagiyon men sugandha hi ek aisi pratibhaagi hain jo yahan aane ke pahle hi tivi ke darshakon ke bich apani pahachaan bana chuki hain। par ye pahachaan unhen apani gaayiki ki vajah se nahin balki star van men aane vaale karyakram loftar chaileanj men mimikari karne ki vajah se mili hai।
bahumukhi pratibha ki dhani sugandha saal dar saal vibhinn yuva mahotsavon men shastriya gaayan men dher saare puraskar batorne ke saath saath vestarn solo shreni men bhi puraskrit ho chuki hain। par vo aaj meri is post ki kendra bindu men hain to apane lajavab shastriya gaayan ki vajah se।
pachchees varsheeya sugandha ke pita santosh mishra dooradarshan ke jaalndhar kendra men steshan doyarektar ke pad par karyarat hain। bahut chhoti umr se unhonne apane dada pandit shankar lal mishra se sangeet ki shiksha leni shuru ki। sugandha ka poora parivar sangeet se juda hai। chacha arun mishra sitaar vaadak hain। dada ji indaur ke ustad ameer khan ke shishya rahe hai। unhen sugandha ka mimakari karana aur paashchaatya sangeet men dakhal dena achchha nahin lagata। par sugandha shastriya sangeet ko apanaate hue in vidhaon men bhi apane hunar ko bikherte rahana chahati hain। aaj ke yuvaaon ki tarah sugandha ke liye bhi shoharat aur paise ki ahamiyat hai aur vo maatra shastriya sangeet ka daman pakad kar gumanami ki jindagi nahin jeena chahati। mere khyal se is tarah ki soch men koi buraai nahin basharte ye unki shastriya gaayan ki pratibha ko prabhavit nahin kare।
sugandha ki mimakari ke saath gane ki kai jhalaken main pahle bhi dekh chuka tha। par vo shastriya sangeet men itani praveen hai iska andaza mujhe pahali baar tab hua jab unhonne sa re ga ma ke aadishan men ek punjabi tappa ga kar sunaya। tapape ke bol the yar di mainoon talab...। tapape ke us tukade ko sun kar mujhe jis aanand ki anubhooti hui usaka varnan karana mushkil hai। bas itana hi kahoonga ki aaj bhi main us chhoti si rikarding ko baar baar baar rivaind kar sunta rahata hai aur man men ek gahan shanti ka ahasaas tari hota rahata hai।
vaise poore tapape ko gwaliyar gharane ke nami shastriya gayak lakshman krishnarav pandit ne gaya hai। shastriya sangeet ke sameekshak maante hain ki tappa gana kathin bhi hai aur drut gati se gane ke liye ismen kafi urja bhi lagani padati hai par sugandha ne jab ise sunaya to aisa laga ki unake liye to ye bada hi sahaj tha।
sa re ga ma men sugandha ka safar mishrit raha hai। unhonne poore karyakram men alag alag kalakaron ke gaaye geeton ko apani aavaaz di hai। kuch ko unhonne badi bakhoobi nibhaya to kuch men unka pradarshan khaas nahin raha। par jab jab unhonne shastriya sangeet par aadhaarit geeton ko chuna hai tab tab sunane vaalon ko unki sabse sashakt prastuti dekhne ko mili hai। misaal ke taur par dilli 6 ke geet bhor bhai tori baat takat piya jo rag gujari todi par aadhaarit hai ko sugandha ne badi mehanat se nibhaya। to aaiye ek baar fir sunen sugandha ko
sugandha mishra filahaal sa re ga ma pa ke antim paanch men hain। vo pratiyogita men ant tak rahengi ya nahin, ye to vakat hi batayega। haan itana to taya hai ki apani bahuaayami pratibha ko sanjote hue agar vo shastriya gaayiki men apani nishtha aur lagan ko banaaye rakhne men safal ho paati hain to avashya safalta ke us mukaam tak pahunchegi jisaki unako talash hai।
