Abhang, who has always been popular in Maharashtra, has now received a PAN-Indian appeal. Among the organizations presenting the campaign concert, Pancham Nishad stands out for organizing the Multi-Siti Abhang Festival every year, which features famous Maharashtrians and non-Maharashtra singers.
A relatively new entry for the desired scene is the US -based Hindustani singer, Mahesh Kale. “Tired of waiting for the performance to be invited to perform”, he decided to organize his own well -cured -cured shows in India. Under the title ‘Abhangwari’, he was held in eight cities this year.

“These elements help to build the mood. If you can create a visual sense of music, why not? Varkris (Pilgrims) marching to Pandarpur, I try to lend an additional dimension for singing and express the essence of these devotional songs.
In Delhi, Mahesh chose the Bharat Mandapam Auditorium for his Abhangwari concert. Unlike the general set up, Strobe Lights burnt the space, while Mist created a fog on the stage. The huge line-up of equipment including flute, violin, harmonium, tabla, fortnight and dholak enhanced the experience. “Youths are used for heavy background sounds and I am trying in classical music.”

Mahesh kept his singing simple and did not attempt to show his virtue as a singer. Its purpose was to inspire devotion to the listener and create peace. Some songs were fast books, and the diversity of presentation was admirable.
After the concert, Mahesh revealed that some compositions were his own, while some others were tuned by his guru. An unusual hymn in Hindi was composed by the award -winning film musician, Narendra Bhade. This was Mahesh’s way of showing that music is beyond the obstacles of the language.
