Born in 1966,
Uday Bhawalkar
studied Dhrupad for more than 12 years, following the traditional method of transmission from guru to disciple (guru-shishya parampara), under the supervision of
Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar
and
Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar
, and in 1987 was awarded the
Dagar Swarna Padak
prize by the legendary
Ustad Nasir Aminuddin Dagar Sahab
of
Senior Dagar Brothers
-- all three of them members of the Dagar Family who have been passing on this music tradition since the 15th century. In addition to performing at the most prestigious classical Indian music festivals since a young age, Uday Bhawalkar has collaborated internationally with artists from different music traditions, amongst whom the choreographer
Astad Deboo
and the
Ensemble Modern
of contemporary music. He has also contributed to the soundtrack of films such as
Cloud Door
by
Mani Kaul
,
Mr & Mrs Iyer
by
Aparna Sen
,
Anahat
by
Amol Palekar
, and more. AngelicA invited Uday Bhawalkar to perform in Bologna twice, in 2008 and 2019. Despite a decades-long career his production has been poorly documented on records, and it is now enriched by
Raga Yaman
, on which he is accompanied by
Manik Munde
on the pakhavaj (a two-headed horizontal drum) and by
Aniruddha Joshi
and
Chintan Upadhyay
on tanpuras. The recording is not of one of his concerts in Bologna (during which he performed the same raga), but of a rendition of the same piece considered particularly significant, which had been privately pressed on CD by Bhawalkar only for personal use in 2006.
Raga Yaman
is a raga, based on a heptatonic scale, considered one of the most important and fundamental of the Hindustani tradition. It is often the first to be taught to students, but it also offers great opportunities of improvisation, and it is a raga that has been recorded by historic artists such as
Ustad Vilayat Khan
,
Pandit Pran Nath
(in the
Yaman Kalyan
variant), and Uday's master himself Zia Mohiuddin Dagar, on one of his CDs from 1991 in which one of the two accompanist on the tanpura was Uday himself.
