Nirguni Bhajans Concert- Bindhumalini
Outside the world of Khayal, Pandit Kumar Gandharva is most widely known for his remarkable renditions of nirguni bhajans of Kabir, Gorakhnath and others of the Bhakti sampradaya. In the sound of his renditions, we hear the quest for a divinity that transcends form, speech and thought, a quest made by the solitary seeker, drawing from no tradition, submitting to no conventions or rituals.
Bindhumalini will render a few nirguni bhajans in this concert.
