As a part of Sama Arts Mystic Voices series, Chandra Chakraborty took us all back in time into the past, singing the Purab Ang ( Style) of Thumri, Dadra, Jhoola, Kajri - in a programme entitled Spirituality in Words, Music & Poetry at Rehmat Simab's labour of love called the 'Music Room' in an intimate setting of a baithak/ mehfll. Truly, an enchanting evening, it was. Chandra is a pupil of Smt Girija Devi, the great songstress of Benares whom I first heard in 1970 at the Festival of Arts of India at the South Bank and later worked with her on several occasions. Chandra was also tutored by Pandit AK Kanan and Vidushi Malvika Kanan of the SRA - both of whom were part of the Music of India series which I had honour of presenting way back in London 1981. This concert was presented by Sama Arts Network in Association with Friends Hearth (The Music Room). The outstanding accompaniment on Tabla, by Sanju Sahai, Kamalbir Singh on Violin and Rekesh Chauhan on harmonium was simply one of the finest trio… (Caption by Shree Jay Visvadeva of Sama Arts)
