Anecdote: A Bamayana bandish is a specific type of Hindustani classical composition where the lyrics are designed so that each word or syllable represents the sound of its corresponding musical notes (swar), often self-composed and meditative, such as those in Raag Yaman. It serves as a fixed, melodic, and rhythmic framework that showcases the raga’s beauty and emotional depth.
Pritam Bhattacharjee, a globally renowned Indian classical vocalist of the Mewati Gharana and disciple of Padma Vibhushan Pandit Jasraj, has composed and performed a self-composed bandish in Raag Yaman. I am proud to say that when I started my journey with Yaman – Pritam ji’s reeditions of Yaman -helped in developing a very strong bond with Yaman – He has a Mastery over the Hindustani Classical Music and his voice / his persona and his nerver disappearing smile is captivating – I was fortunate to receive the Lyrics of his bandishes from him
