Naina Devi - Vocal Recital [ 1972 ]

The Thumri Known For It's Sensuous Romanticism Has Been Aptly Described As The Expression Of The Singer's Soul. Unlike In Khayal, The Expressive Aspect Of The Song It's Basic To It's Delineation. The Charm Of The Thumri Thus Lies In The Singer's Skill In Portraying Its Lyrical Subtleties With A Subtle Musical Imagination To Facilitate Full Expression To The Poetic Mood Enshrined In The Chosen Theme, The Artiste Is Allowed Freedom To Resort To A Variety Of Voice Modulation And Appealing Articulation In Presentation ! Naina Devi Was An Exponent Of Thumri Gayaki With All These Qualities !! Track 1 - "Maan Ley Kehanwa, Na Ja Balam Pardeswa" [ Dadra ] Track 2 - "Lachkat Aawe Ree, Naveli PanhaariyaaN" [ Dadra ]
