भिंडी बाजार घराना


 इस धराने की एक और प्रसिद्ध गायिका अंजली बाई मालपेकर

It is interesting to note that many compositions of this gharana were in praise of Lord Siva. Anjani Bai Malpekar was another well-known musician of this gharana. She was a disciple of Ustad Nazir Khan and the Guru of Kishori Amonkar.

The intermingling of the gharanas and the imprint that their styles left on the gayaki of the succeeding gharanas is huge. While Baroda Abdul Karim Khan Sahib of Kirana gharana made an indelible mark on the gayaki of his gharana with his khatkas and murkis, Aman Ali Khan of Bhendi Bazaar had a special knack of using the khatkas and gamaks from the Carnatic style.

He was a gifted composer and the beautiful khayal composition in Raga Hamsadhwani – ‘Lagee lagan satee patee sang’ and ‘Jai maat, vilamba taja de’ are imputed to him. (Living Idioms in Hindustani Music by Pandit Amarnath.)

His was the Merukhand style — a mathematical ordering of notes through which thousands of taans, as many as 5,040, are possible in seven notes. His virtuosity came through in not just singing a variety taans and sargams, but also in his perfect enunciation and bringing out the literary beauty of the bandish. Akaar helped in articulation and in correct placement of the notes. Aman Ali originally adopted the vilambit style but later sang more in the medium tempo as the first one was hard to sustain due to his ill health.

The clear note intonation and word articulation are used in badhat and sapat taans and gamak taans along with midhs, a characteristic feature of this style of singing. Ustad Amir Khan, a doyen of the Kirana gharana, known for his danedaar taan was much influenced by this style.

Shiv Kumar Shukla and Ramesh Nadkarni are the disciples of Ustad Aman Ali, however his most well known disciple is the legendary playback singer, Lata Mangeshkar. Her vigorous training in the classical idiom gave her voice control over melody as well as modulation.

This gharana indeed has a bearing on the khayal singing today, as the most distinctive aspect of this gharana is the presentation of khayal with an open voice, the hallmark of the present day singers.
