An Analytical Study of Bhajan Gayaki concerning Vidushi Kishori Amonkar’s Interpretation of ‘Bhajan’

Abstract

Bhajan is a Devotional genre of music in India, which is found to be sung in different ways. People who sing different genres of songs in India are often found to sing Bhajans. Bhajan is not confined to a particular way to interpret but is found to be interpreted in multiple ways by different artists. This article will discuss on the Bhajan interpretation by Vidushi Kishori Amonkar’s Bhajan Gayaki (singing style) in a very simple way to figure out whether there is any similar idea existing in her Bhajan interpretations. The Bhajans are collected while collecting data for my ‘Doctoral Thesis’ paper. All the interpretations are taken from studio recordings. No public performance has been chosen for analysis in this paper.
