Transcendental Dhrupad Vocals ft. Pelva Naik | Baithak 2021 at the G5A warehouse

Dhrupad featuring Pelva Naik | Baithak 2021 at the G5A warehouse
About the artist :
Pelva is a solo Dhrupad vocalist, and has been trained under the eminent Dagar School of Music. She is a disciple of the legendary Dhrupad maestro Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar. She has also received proficient guidance from Rudraveena maestro Ustad Mohi Bahauddin Dagar.
In her music, Pelva endeavors to adhere sincerely to these traditional elements - so complete in themselves. At the same time, with the help of the great liberty that the discipline of dhrupad offers, she strives to cultivate fresh characteristics that are personal and distinct. She believes that even though performance of this unique art form is a central aspect of her ‘being’ as an artist; teaching and edification of Dhrupad must remain the most integral element for a practitioner. Teaching and sharing the nuances of the art of Dhrupad is an integral part of her life and practice.
Accompanying her are Sukhad Munde on Pakhawaj and Jayant Naidu on Tanpura.

Baithak, an acoustic concert series, creates an intimate space which embraces the subtle, unspoken moments between artist, instrument, and audience.
The performance was recorded live at the G5A Black Box which has been carefully designed for a pristine auditory experience.

Pelva’s presentation is very Bhaav poorn…S, like th blooming of a flower with a gentle touch of th breez

There is a problem with recording. The volume of Tanpura is so high that it makes it difficult to listen vocalist

[@_kenula_damsith_]

Agree. Recording should be balanced even it's baitak cause it's posting the content on streams like TH-cam😢

[@_kenula_damsith_]

Also the Tanpuras aren't tuning perfectly maybe cause they cannot even hear well in the place😢

[@user_kH9bw3ns1]

Usually I like when instruments are a little bit higher than usual, but I agree. The tempura cuts through rather harshly, and it feels like the voice is more background

Very strong presentation... looks like Neela Saraswati Devi

[@GreenOrangeBlueWhite]

So beautiful but spoilt due to the mic

[@kirstiabernethy6412]

yes such a shame..... but am sure it was perfect live! thank you Pelva ❤

Does anyone know how to spell Tumarumashi? He was supposedly the inventor of the Tanpura. I would like to look him up and read about him.
