Raag Ramdasi Malhar. Pt. Bhimsen Joshi.

Bharat Ratna Pt. Bhimsen Joshi sings a rare form of Raag Malhar, the Ramdasi Malhar. No no no this is not from Swar Smruti 1992. This one is totally different. The concert is most probably from around 70s'. This raag was preceded by Raag Megh Malhar and Jaijavanti Nat Malhar. The concert finally ended with Raag Mishra Bhairavi Abhang "Lai Nahi Lai Nahi Magne"(not confirmed, my recording of this abhang can be from other concert too) One more interesting thing about this is that this composition is of Ustad Amir Khan. It's lyrics goes as folllows: Chaaee badaraa kaaree kaaree umanDa-ghumanDa ghana garajata barasata taiso jiyaraa umaDyo hee aaye nijee aMdhiyaaree kaaree bijaree chamake pavana chalata sananananananana piya bina jiyaaraa nija sohee jaaye || Lyrics Attribution: Bhuvanesh Bhatt from Swarganga Bandishbase.
