This mas­ter of both the saran­gi and vocals died in 1968. His voice had enor­mous range and sweet­ness, with which he inter­pret­ed the roman­tic thum­ri in a style fus­ing many dif­fer­ent region­al tra­di­tions. The album I own offers two long ragas and four short thum­ri, of which I pre­ferred the lat­ter, espe­cial­ly “Yaad Piya Ki Aaye”.
