Just back from 2 weeks away....Thanks Anita and Jim! Just back from 2 weeks away...such nice comments to come home to!<br /><br />Mac, I love your comment. This is a very special composition for me...it never ceases to reveal new facets, and the variations I learned flow so nicely into one another...a group dance indeed!<br /><br />I think I have your email, but you an email me at talawallah@gmail.com and I'll reply from my regular address.<br /><br />I recorded another 2 kaidas at the cottage (yes...I took my drums and studio to the cottage...wait until you see the cabin I was in, and yes...I'm a geek) so another post is imminent.<br /><br />cheers all.Tala-Wallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584115441323296608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155965951475898895.post-27479590328427437302010-08-05T02:11:01.670-04:002010-08-05T02:11:01.670-04:00Tala-Wallah,
I'm learning it from my teacher ...Tala-Wallah,<br /><br />I'm learning it from my teacher at present.... and as mentioned in first post, this is a Farukabad Chalan but i dont have any thing to back that statement.<br /><br />I must say you've described it the way i like to view it. Initially i thought it was all about how Ta sounded intertwined with the other bols. Then as i concentrated on DheNe Gene i thought, even this could be the star of the composition... and so on for Tete and GheGhe ... This composition is so beautiful that it appears to be symmetrical when you try to "look at it" from different angles and one of the reasons i found that the bols are often repeated or changed a little bit in the varations... .What is remarkable is the thinking behind these variations so that they are "very close to one another" thereby creating that "symmetric feel". Perhaps the word "symmetric feel" is incorrect.. it's more like a group dance where everyone is a star.. I hope you get my point.<br /><br />Very nice rendering of the Chalan!<br /><br />PS. BTW... how can i contact you directly. Could you please email me your email address? I think you have mine.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08023171950378489682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155965951475898895.post-59848037096156960022010-08-02T03:00:07.320-04:002010-08-02T03:00:07.320-04:00Sounding good brother!Sounding good brother!jim santihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11382155202546344123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155965951475898895.post-55855335050758303912010-07-29T20:28:01.373-04:002010-07-29T20:28:01.373-04:00ed you killed it. this is fantastic! :) i need to ...ed you killed it. this is fantastic! :) i need to start practicing this one again.anitahttp://www.myspace.com/rakkatakanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155965951475898895.post-68628755061390568582010-07-24T14:46:27.491-04:002010-07-24T14:46:27.491-04:00Here are Don's comments from Facebook...good i...Here are Don's comments from Facebook...good info here, and I hope Don doesn't mind me reposting...:<br /><br />Don Robertson: There seems to be one type of Farrukhabad chelan that has four lines, the 2nd and 4th the same. If just the first two lines are played, then it is a kaida only. The gena-ta genatete chalan that was performed by Kermatulah Kahn on Gottlieb's recordings was, according to Nayan Ghosh (if I remember correctly) build out from the first two lines... a dehli kaida.<br /><br />Don Robertson: Shankar Ghosh taught me the famous DhatiDha- Dhatigena thunakena DhatiDha- piece, calling it a chalan, but Gert Wegner learned it from Nikhil Ghosh and called it a gat, which makes the most sense, because it resembles other Farrukhabad gat-kaidas.Tala-Wallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584115441323296608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155965951475898895.post-17806325149751045082010-07-24T14:24:06.728-04:002010-07-24T14:24:06.728-04:00So, I've learned a LOT more about this history...So, I've learned a LOT more about this history of this composition in the past 2 days, and have edited the post to reflect the new info.
