Sir, some of us who were witness to him about 16-18 years ago when he played tabla, he used to rock. Even now, when we can catch him, he recites numerous gat-kaidas, which even evokes wonderment from some of the biggest tabla names in Delhi. After he got involved with Conservation activities he could only play one percussion instrument & he chose to dedicate whatever time he could afford to Jori as this needed to be revived. What ever was left of Jori, it had a lot of tabla type handling. anad t
Pinky ka Johri or Baldeep bhai ka jhori mey zameen asmaan ka fark hain.. And i said i respect the man because he is a musicion.. That doesn`t mean that i have to like his playing.. I don`t like Mozart`s music but he was very famous and conciderd as a master genious. U people have forced me to say these things by putting video`s wich i don`t find worthy watching..
This old man is not playing a tabla, it is its papa, Jori. Yes, we at the ANAD have not really seen any videos or heard any solo recitals of BBS playing the tabla, so we can't really respond to your comment, whether he has or not learned much tabla. But as far as his Pakhawaj repertoire is concerned, we are told he may not have many peers.
BBS sent this message: These compositions are ancient heritage and not creations of Mian Qader Baksh. He also played these as did all other important exponents of pakhawaj. Kapurthala- Amritsari baaj is the oldest of all remaining schools in India and the Baksh family's of Lahore is one of the later ones. From Lala Bhawani Das above it (Lahore) then joins back in to the K-A Baaj during Maharaja Ranjit Singh's era. anad team
How interesting! We would really appreciate if you could take a moment and enlighten us more about this post. Sir, we can also remove this post if you think there is something grossly wrong and if this is not a worthy post.
It has nothing 2 do with any sikh or muslim martyrs.. I mean Pinky bhai is sikh.. I think both his tabla aswell as jhori solo`s are far much richer then Baldeep bhai`s.. It`s about the material and the way it sounds from ur hands. i agree speed isn`t the mainthing.. But even without speed it`s incomplete.. Har cheez ka apna mazza hai janaab e ali
Perhaps it may be the style as you say, sir. Were you present at the concert? Is your training in tabla or pakhawaj? One of our Foundation members was present and she mentioned that many great pakhawaj exponents were present there and really enjoyed his playing?
To our knowledge, it is called a pudda (or daiyan) but of course in the hands of lefty greats such as Ustad Pinkyji, it will have to be called as baiyan! BTW Sir, are you a tabla player yourself? or an enthusiast like us here at ANAD?
on a positive note Veerji when you play "Punjab Ki Pehichaan, Khaas" could you tell me if that is an old composition By Mian Fakir Baksh Of Punjab cuz i think i heard the bols"Keta keta kut ta kiretike ta" a commonly used prase in old Punjab Pakhawaj baaj
Vaise banarasi ji you cannot compare Khalifa Baldeep Singh with Pt Sukhwinder Bharaj alias Pinky for another reason. Whereas the former is an original musical mind (having produced many difficult taals & compositions), the latter has merely mastered (very ably without doubt) whatever has been fed to him by his teachers. Moreover Bhai Baldeep is an outstanding poet & a great scholar - something you can hardly say about Pinky ji. I'm sure Pinky ji himself will concede that BBS is a bigger genius!
No No Sir i have nothing against the artist! I don`t like to give people a bad name. It`s just that in my opinion the concert was not really special. The artist didn`t played something special.. Maybe it`s just the style Baldeep bhai play`s.. But i have respect for him as being an artist myself.
Say what u say.. i have respect for Baldeep ji as an human being and as an artist but i don`t like his style or playing bas gal mukhi. The compositions u play should be played with speed and power.. Theanhadnaad, tum bako nahi.. Pa ji menu wi patta si.. Sur tey technic tey nikhaas tey lehkari ki honda e.. Isliye ziaada taang mat maroo idher udhar..
AMAZING !
Rare art of Indian music especially rare art of GOLDEN TEMPLE, AMRITSAR,INDIA.
alam vivadena!!! Just enjoy the beautiful jori played by a veritable master :)
