Attended a concert of Aashna Jain (Vocal) accompanied by Mandar Puranik (Tabla) and Siddhesh Bicholkar (Harmonium, disciple of Pt. Tulsidas Borkar) at 39th Sangeet Samrat Alladiyakhan music festival on 10th April 2016.
Aashna Jain (Kirana Gharana) is only 12 years old and considered a child prodigy. She hails from Mumbai. She is disciple of Pt. Achyutrao Abhyankar and Pt. Tulsidas Borkar.
Bada Khyal of the concert was evening Raag Puriya Kalyan (पूरीया कल्याण) of Marwa That (मारवा थाट). She presented bandish 'Sadarang (सदारंग)'. She displayed that she can sing in lower as well as higher octaves. She used Aakar (आकार) as well as Sargam (सरगम) for badhat (बढत).
She then presented a drut bandish 'Bahut din beete (बहु त दिन बीते)'. The ease with which she sung was amazing.
Chota Khyal of the concert was evening Raag Patdeep (पटदीप) of Kafi That (काफी थाट). Tabalji started on wrong beat. She stopped, corrected him and then continued with her singing. Audience was amazed by her understanding. She presented bandish 'Naina na mane (नैना ना मानें)'.
She then presented another Bandish 'Ajahu na aye Shyam (अजहू न आए श्याम)' composed by Agrawale Vilayat Hussain Khan 'Pranpiya'.
Ashna sang confidently and was at home on the stage. Her music sense and maturity is much more than her age. She knew what she wanted to sing, how she will sing it and executed it perfectly. Considering that she is only 12 years old Ashna is already a rising star. Audience was awestruck.
Tabla & Harmonium were good accompaniment. She proved a good match to them.
Trivia: Siddhesh, apart from being an excellent harmonium player, is also an accomplished Jaltarang player.
