| From Nadger Wada in Kundagol |
|
| It was in Kundagol that he had his first lessons in music. And just as Nadger Wada in Kundagol makes the nonagenarian vocalist Gangubai Hangal nostalgic, he too has some cherished memories of the place. We are talking of Pt Bhimsen Joshi, the most prominent Hindustani vocalist living today. Along with Gangubai Hangal, and Pt. Basavaraj Rajguru he too had his share in popularizing the Kirana Gharana of Hindustani classical music. And today he is considered the doyen of the Kirana Gharana. While Ms. Gangubai chose to stay in Hubli, Pt. Joshi moved to Pune and made it his home. Born on February 14, 1922, at Hombal in erstwhile Dharwad district (now Gadag district), Pt. Joshi was interested in music at a tender age. In 1933, the 11-year-old Bhimsen left his home on his own to learn singing through the Guru-Shishya (or the Master-disciple) tradition. He spent three years in Gwalior, Lucknow and Rampur in North India trying to find a good guru. His father succeeded in tracking him down and bringing young Bhimsen back home. In 1936, Rambhau Kundgolkar, popularly known as Sawai Gandharva, agreed to teach Bhimsen in Hindustani classical music. Bhimsen Joshi stayed with Sawai Gandharva between 1936 and 1940 at his home in Kundagol. He then left his guru and set out on his own with a strict regimen of up to sixteen hours of daily riyaz (practice). Continued... |
