Description / Details:

Classical singing is getting a makeover. It is now being repackaged for the lounge crowd, by fusing it with international music popular with the younger generation.
Classical keyboard player Abhijit Pohankar had started this project with the album Piya Bavari some six years ago. That album claimed to be the first Indian-raga-based track embraced by the West in an international lounge compilation called Chillout in Paris Vol.3 by Buddha Bar. It was so popular that the second album has retained the same name with "Again" added to it.
This offering tends to be even better than the original thanks to the enchanting voice of the father of Abhijit, well-known classical vocalist Pandit Ajay Pohankar.
The album opens with the evergreen Aye Na Balam Ka Karoon Sajni. Most people remember it in the voice of Yesudas from the film Swami, but actually it has been immortalised by Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. Here, the senior Pohankar sings it in the style of the Ustad. It has been embellished with alaaps and contemporary soundscaping.
The album gets its name from a thumri, Piya bawari, remixed by DJ Suketu and with vocals by Ajay Pohankar. Another stylish thumri is Payaliya jhankaar.
Perhaps the most enjoyable of the lot is Ab to aao sajna, with some excellent khayaal alaap, although the voices in the background saying "yeah" and "oh" mar the impact somewhat.
The male version of Jo hamne is also polished. Its female version has been rendered by Vaijanti Limaye, Runa Rizvi— daughter of ghazal maestro Raj Kumar Rizvi—and Lalitya Munshaw.

Description / Details :

Piya Bavari is a pioneer of light classical fusion as far as hindustani classical music goes. Abhijit Pohankar, a classical keyboard player, is the composer of this 2002 album released by Times Music. Pt. Ajay Pohankar and Arati Ankalikar provide the male and female vocals respectively.

The album has a total of 11 tracks (only 10 if you go for the cassette instead of the cd). It begins with the title track - Piya Bavari - which is an excellent composition. Other good tracks include Tum San Naina, Bechain Hui (look out for great work by flautist Ashvin), Albeli Naar Pyari, Kaise Kate, and my personal favourite - Jiya Mane Nahi. Of the two taraanas (male and female), I prefer the Arati Ankalikar version to the one by Pt. Ajay Pohankar.

The only problem (a small one) with the album is that sometimes the music tends to overpower the vocals. I can’t put my finger on any particular song. But that is how I feel. That apart, this is a very good album if you like hindustani classical music or any kind of fusion.
