Prem Gali | Baiju Mangeshkar | Kabir | Album: Man Mast Kabira | प्रेम गली | मन मस्त कबीरा

ईश्वर के ऐसे अनेक मधुर प्यारे भजन, मंत्र आरतियां सुनने के लिए सब्सक्राइब करें :    / saregamabhakti   The truest love, the love shorn of all willful ego is that of the Almighty’s Goodness. It is the key to everything: all knowledge, thus wisdom, to clarity and serenity and the one liberation that seeks never to free itself from such love. This is the core essence of Kabir’s philosophy in this devotional piece. Musically here is an impressionist and contemporary approach in the bhajan style that makes it rather unique. Baiju Mangeshkar’s “Man Mast Kabira” is a bouquet of songs, honoring the enduring musical legacy of the Mangeshkars – acknowledged the foremost family of popular Indian music for well over 90 years. “Man Mast Kabira”, is his latest work in which he explores the clarity and living logic of Kabir, the 15th century humble weaver, mystic poet and saint who, rising like an apostle of common-sense spirituality, continues to inspire humankind. It was his legendary aunt’s suggestion that set Baiju on his Kabir mission, with songs written in the spoken Hindustani of the time – a mix of Braj, Bhojpuri and Awadhi. Saregama, the presenters of this 10-song album, and his earlier “Ya Rabba”, have an equally historic relationship with the Mangeshkars for well over 80 years and three generations of these formidable musicians. Kabir’s timeless oneness with mystic devotion is the core essence of this album which manifests a contemporary spectrum of musical styles ranging from up-tempo songs to unhurried ballads revealing the various moods of the lyric - at times ecstatic and joyful; at other times contemplative or pensive. The melodies are rooted in various Hindustani raagas, and some are infused with a distinct folk flavor. “Man Mast Kabira” melds the classical and the folk to create something stylistically contemporary, and easily communicable. With all his albums amplified by the musical input of some exceptional local and internationally renowned musicians, “Man Mast Kabira” includes the elegant music arrangements by Jatin Sharma and Writam Changkakoti. All told, “Man Mast Kabira”, blends the velvet of Baiju’s voice, soulful singing and his signature style - evolved from his magnificent roots and his eclectic creativity resulting in a resonantly breezy flow of songs of Kabir, embracing the realm of universal love.
