Vocal Recital by Ms. Kalapini Komkali from Mumbai
in Vivekananda Auditorium on 17th November 2007
An Introduction
Kalapini Komkali is the daughter and disciple of Pandit Kumar Gandharva and Vidushi Smt. Vasundhara Komkali. Kalapini has performed widely across the country in many prestigious music festivals. After her post graduation in Library Science, Kalapini learnt music from her father and is now an active trustee of the kumar Gandhrva Sangeet Academy.
She received project scholarship from the Ministry of Human Resources in the field of Indian Classical music. She also had the honour to receive Kumar Gandharva Award from prestigious Pujari Prathistan at Pune.
The Gharana of Kumar Gandharva is a difficult inheritance to claim. However Kalapini has been able to fashion with grace and beauty, her voice and musical presence already possess exceptional implications. She uses much the same techniques her father used to do, that lets you hear the swara as part of the raga and the swara also is purely kindled separately and individually. The next thing is to listen to the sahitya of the Bandishes with its gentle folk intonations, the whisper of the land of Malwa which Kumarji first brought to life.
