Notes
Poster advertising an evening of Serene Classical and Scintillating Folk Music at the Bibliothèque nationale du Québec, Montreal, Quebec. Features Ustad Shujaat Husain Khan on the sitar and Hindol Majumdar and Mayookh Bhaumik on the tabla. "Son of Vilayat Khan, the legendary Sitar maestro and inventor of his own style, Shujaat Husain Khan represents the 7th generation of music virtuosos. As much a great singer as a great Sitarist, his poetry and his technique mark him out as an outstanding performer and crowd-pleaser." -Kabir Cultural Centre "Shujaat Husain Khan is one of the greatest North Indian classical musicians of his generation. He belongs to the Imdad Khan gharana of the sitar and his style of playing sitar, known as the gayaki ang, is imitative of the subtleties of the human voice." - https://www.shujaatkhan.com/ "Hindole Majumdar occupies a commendable position amongst the young tabla players of his generation. Inspired by his maternal grandfather, Late Sri Chittaranjan Roy, an ardent music lover, and his mother, Late Sunanda Majumdar, a teacher by profession and a Kathak dancer disciple of Pandit RamgopalMishra of the Jaipur gharana, Hindole started learning tabla at the tender age of 5. In his very first performance at the age of 10, he completely enthralled the audience." - https://www.hindolemajumdar.com/about.php "Mayookh Bhaumik is an Indian classical tabla virtuoso, an electronic sound artist as well as a National Award winning film composer, This New York born, bi-cultural global concert artist has performed with the likes of Ustad Nusrat FatehAli Khan to Jazz heavyweights like Oteil Burbridge. He has been groomed by an enviable list of gurus including Ustad Zakir Hussain and Ustad Sabir Khan." - https://mayookhbhaumik.bandcamp.com/ The sitar is a plucked string instrument invented in medieval india. The name comes from sat tär, meaning "seven strings" in Hindi. The sitar has 6 or 7 played strings that are plucked with a plectrum called a mizraab in addition to a much greater number of resonance strings which run beneath the instrument's frets. The tabla is a pair of single-headed hand drums from the Indian subcontinent. The small, conical righthand drum is called the dayan and is used to created treble or tonal sounds. The larger, kettledrum-like lefthand drum is called the baya and is used for producing bass. The tabla owes its unique sound to the coat of syahi "tuning paste" applied to specific areas on the skin of each drum. *Date listed refers to date of performance.
