Pandit Kumar Gandharva is a renowned Indian, Hindustani classical singer. Pandit Kumar Gandharva is also known for his expertise in Bhajan. He also experimented with other genres of music like devotional songs known as Bhajans, folk songs like Nirguni Bhajans and Kabir Bhajans. Pandit Kumar Gandharva’s unique style and creativity made him compose songs in the same Raga in both fast and slow pace. The most unique feature about the singing style of Kumar Gandharva was that he refused to be limited by the specific tradition and rules of a Gharana. He was born on 8 April 1924 and was originally named Shivaputra Siddramayya Komkali. He is also known as Kumarji. Pandit Kumar Gandharva passed away in January 1992. He had not been in the best of health, and to me it looked as if the thought of being unable to sing in the future was on his mind and had caused him to lose interest in living. His last public concert in Bombay took place on 22nd November 1991, at the Nehru Centre.
Bhajan—a word common to most North Indian languages—means a devotional song. Nirgun poetry evokes a deeper level of experience by explaining the normal ways of thinking, pushing the listener to a place that is no-place. Kabir is the premier nirgun poet of North India. The instruments which are used to play with the bhajans such as harmonium, dholak, manjira and occasionally a violin.
In this album “Sings Nirguni Bhajans” Pandit Kumar Gandharva has shown his brilliance and knowledge in Hindustani classical Music by the recordings. Over all this album is a rare collection and a must have for Indian Classical Music connoisseurs.
