Dear Wikimedians,
We are glad to invite you to join us for an event in Mumbai on October
7th where Pandita. Neela Bhagwat [1] will donate her comprehensive
textual compilation of Gwalior Gharana [2] bandishes.
Timing: 5.30 to 7 pm
Venue: Shivaji Park Nagarik Sangh, (hall next to Shivaji statue at
Shivaji Park, Dadar)
As some of you may know that Gwalior Gharana is one of the old
traditions of Hindustani gayaki and like other gayaki's the tradition
has been passed on orally in the guru-shishya parampara. Pt. Neela
Bhagwat has over a period of 30 years (of learning and teaching music)
meticulously compiled most of the Gwalior Gharana bandishes with
notations and notes. Upon the request of CIS-A2K, she has agreed to
donate this comprehensive collection which will be scanned and hosted on
Wikisource. We hope that this will be of interest to music aficionados
and those interested in the study of Hindustani Music.
CIS-A2K is thankful to the event hosts, Khayal Trust. The event will
attract a community of Hindustani music lovers and we hope to orient
them to consider improving the quality of content on Hindustani music
and musicians on Wikipedia during the event. We welcome the community
members in Mumbai to join us in this effort. Please help spread the word.
Best,
Vishnu
