Jayateerth Mevundi from Hubli-Dharwad is one of the youngest, most gifted musicians belonging to the Kirana Gharana. Mumbai's aficionados will now get a chance to listen to this genius who made an impression on the legendary Pandit Bhimsen Joshi
It has been forty years since the death of the legendary Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. To celebrate his music, the Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Yaadgaar Sabha is organising a tribute concert today. In a gesture of generosity, the organisation has invited Jayateerth Mevundi to perform. It is heartening that Mevundi, who is from the Kirana Gharana, will be singing in memory of the maestro from the Patiala Gharana. More the Gharana prejudices ebb, better for listeners. Another vocalist, Devaki Pandit, will also be performing at the same event.
