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.
