1972 born Shri Jayateerth Mevundi of Kirana Gharana is exactly 50 years younger to Pt. Bhimsen Joshi, one of the great exponents of the Gharana. Shri Mevundi is considered to be one among the leading torchbearers of this school of singing in our young generation. I was listening to a recording belongs to the 1970s where Pt. Bhimsen Joshi sang one of his favourite renditions in Rag Brindabani Saranag. After listening to Panditji, I have switched over to Jayateerth Mevundi’s rendition in 2008 of the same composition. One can convincingly experience from these two tracks how a legacy in Indian music is carried forward with all its strengths and colours.
Pt. Bhimsen Joshi (1922-2011)
