Bhola Shambhu: Ghewar & Firoze | Live at Amarrass Nights

Описание: Bhola Shambhu is a traditional bhajan in the devotion of Lord Shiv.

About the group:
Ghewar & Firoze, sons of the late Padma Shri Sakar Khan, are masters of the Kamaicha and the Dholak respectively. Accomplished internationally touring musicians, who are also members of the Grammy Artist Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt's Desert Slide Project, the brothers have a long history of performing at some of the most illustrious stages across the world, including at Jodhpur's RIFF and Fez Festival in Morocco. They also featured in the album 'At Home: Sakar Khan' (an Amarrass Records album which was, in 2012, rated "5 Stars: Top of the World" by Songlines).

Ghewar has been playing the Kamaicha since he was a young boy. A bowed, stringed lute that was traditionally used to accompany vocals, over time the Kamaicha has achieved its own virtuosic status. Today Ghewar is world renowned for his technical skill and emotional rendering of the vast repertoire of traditional folk music of the Manganiyar (Merasi) community.

Firoze is a celebrated Dholak player with a prolific performance career that spans three decades, including tours with the legendary Ustad Zakir Hussain and Ustad Sultan Khan.

The brothers are not only masters of their instruments, but are bestowed with powerful voices that compliment the other. They have received numerous honors and awards and their notable performances include a BBC Symphony Orchestra performance organized by the Asian Music Circuit in the United Kingdom, “From Father to Son“, conceived and hosted by Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Menuhin in 1995, the UCLA program “Mirabai Hindu Saint” (2002).

"The great legacy of the legendary Sakar Khan ji is a heavy burden to carry, but the ease with which the notes flow from Ghewarji's kamaicha makes one thank the Gods of music for spreading the gift so generously amongst those closest to the great man. Ghewar & Firoze give us the raw beauty of Rajasthan's desert, the otherworldly romance of the tunes that colour that landscape with heart achingly poignant notes.”
Sarthak Kaushik, RJ at Radio One, said.
