Hello Friends,

A new forum dedicated to the legendary Shiv Dayal Batish is created here on HF at Ashwin Batish's request. Ashwin happens to be the son of Mr. Batish and is renowned and extraordinary sitarist and tabla player. We are fortunate to have him amidst us.

I present to you all this small "tofaa" of my fathers upcoming CD of Ghazals. It is a special gift to you all to listen and enjoy. The full CD is set to be released around December. I will be happy to let you all know of this.

I am very fond of your Sitar Power series albums. By combining sitar with the new age funky fusion, you have managed to create a new genre that I must have introduced to many of my friends.

This ghazal that you uploaded is sung very well and the sitar playing of your father (or, is it you?) was charming. Who sang it?

It is extremely heartening to see you here among us music lovers. Welcome!

Anurag,

Thank you for your comments on my Sitar Power series albums. I have a thrid one in the works. My family humorously calls my releases the " Das Varshi Yojanaa" I get so busy doing other things that the past two releases were 10 years apart and the new one is similarly coming out after almost 10 years of the 2nd album. I am fusing Funk, jazz, calypso etc in this one and having a ball doing it.

On your question of my upload. ..... I am sorry i did not make this clear but here are the credits

Vocals by : S.D. Batish
Sitar, Tabla,sequencing, arrangement and mixdown - Ashwin Batish
Music composed by S.D Batish
Words by S.D. Batish
Based on a Carnatic Raga Paavankari of the Paavani Mela #41

I am working on releasing a new CD of Ghazals like the one above in December.

Glad you liked it My father's new stuff really is awesome.

Best wishes,
Ashwin Batish
