Rooh-E-Ghazal 2018
Mumbai 25th March 2018
While technology has made life more comfortable, there are certain areas where it has threatened the basic business model. Music industry world over is struggling due to new technological disruption. The physical music business has almost disseminated in the wake of free availability in the virtual space. Physical release of music is now a very rare phenomenon. So what are the options left before the artists ? Stage performances, concert tours are among the few options left to monetize the music. And even otherwise the classical forms of music are overshadowed by the popular bollywood stream.
With this back drop, NGO Madhu Murchna is doing good job to bring talents on a single platform and giving serious music lovers to enjoy classical and folk music.
This year Madhu Murchna organised 2 day program Rooh-e-Ghazal at Rang Sharda in the Bandra on 23rd and 24th March in association with Films Today and Department of Culture. It was really heartening to see house full of music lovers cutting across the age and gender.
There were many artists like Mithlesh Lucknowi, Vivek & Rolli Prakash, Satyam Anand Jee who were given this platform to show case their talent.
Soma Ghosh herself is a versatile artist, who has tried to revive Darbari style of Ghazal. She rendered select Ghazals of Meena Kumari, Parveen Shakir to give the rare flavor of feelings of a woman in love. She also sung immortal आज जाने की जिद न करो.
The star of the mehfil were Hussain Brothers , who despite of their age still rule the stage and stole audience's heart. 'मैं हवा हूँ , कहाँ वतन मेरा, दस्त मेरा न ये चमन मेरा, मैं कि हर चंद एक ख्वानानशीं अंजुमन अंजुमन सुखन मेरा'
From the sideline of the show, we spoke Shoma Ghosh about what is next after so many years in lime light. She said,'I am sincerely working to establish Sangeet Gram, a place where I can revive the magic of long forgotten musical instruments like Sur Bahar, Dil Bahar, Rudra Veena, Saraswati Veena. The place should be abode to retired artists who can stay comfortably and pass on their skills to next generation.'
