Mishra Bhairavi | Rahul Sharma & Pandit Subhankar Banerjee | Santoor and Tabla

#santoor #indianmusic #darbarfestival

In this video from 2009, Rahul Sharma performs a beautiful, folksy piece in Mishra Bhairavi. As the son and disciple of the illustrious santoor master, the late Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, carving a niche for himself was not easy for Sharma. He was not allowed to play the santoor until he was 13. Instead, he trained and acquired the fundamentals of rich, ancient Indian ragas on a harmonium first.

More about the music

He is accompanied by Pandit Subhankar Banerjee (1966-2021), a tabla phenomenon whom the world lost too soon to COVID. A musician of expansive imagination, Pandit Banerjee lends a thoughtful and exciting support to this piece. Connecting with Sharma’s santoor at all levels, he enriches the presentation with a varied palette of sounds with his thekas (beats) emerging in tender intensity, imposing permutations and combinations, fluttery and airborne crispness and a few virtuous solos in between.

The term ‘mishra’ denotes ‘of mixed nature’- a musical practice prevalent in the execution of Hindustani semi classical pieces where the artist takes the liberty to beautify the central raga borrowing shades from other ragas. Sharma steals the show with his immersive delivery of this enticing piece set to Dadra, a 6-beat, lilting rhythmic cycle. He masterfully melds the Bhairavi theme with bright and varied tonal vignettes, weaving a tapestry of joyous discontinuities with playful incursions from Banerjee’s tabla.

The santoor chimes and glows, flowing on a gossamer weave of microtones where the soft tonal textures interlace with Banerjee’s vibrant tabla accompaniment to unfurl each moment of the piece in evocative narratives.
