It is not only a pleasure but an honor to introduce Swati Kanitkar - my singer friend par excellence - to the audio blog world. I met Swati, also known as Kaushidhwani in yahoo music room long back.

And a sample of her musical prowess from her expanding musical repertoire - Dayaghana is -presented here.

This is what I wrote about Swati on Orkut for her testimonial:
A voice that made me a composer way back in 2002. A singer par excellence. The sheer beauty of her mesmerizing delivery can render the listener spell-bound. Swati is one of those artists who one cannot come across everyday in life. Her command on akaar aalaap is so high that, it sometimes makes me hold my hands in a 'namaste' position in awe ! An artist who is always willing to work with new ideas. For all and sundry she is Swati. For me, she will always be Kaushiji.
Listening to Kaushiji in devotionals is a sublime experience akin to experiencing a divine interception in life. I can unabashedly say that I am a total pujari of her voice and that she is one of my two singing goddesses. (The other one is Deepa Sethuraman about whom I may write a blog in the future). I have also been fortunate to have her sing a composition of mine which I plan to release with complete orchestration. I think having Swati in our midst is a blessing. Had she not chosen to live in USA, I am sure she would have been picked by the best of music directors in Bombay and been catapulted to fame. Well, at least for once music directors were not lucky and we, the audiobloggers, are.
Please welcome Swati to our ever-expanding audio blog world. Kaushiji - I believe you can infuse some fresh spirit in our already bubbly audioblogging world. It is a privilege to have you among us.
Such a beautiful rendition! This goes straight to my fav list. I just heard the songs from Swati's audioblog, but this one tops them all. Such a bhaavam and layam... I keep playing the song again and again.
ReplyDeleteAnd one thing, I think the special effects missing in between. Sometimes come with echo and sometimes plain. Was that intentional?
It is indeed a privilege to have you here in the audio-blogsphere Swati!
Aweeeesome !!!
ReplyDeleteMurali, thanks for introducing such a great singer through your blog.
that was awesome... great to see such a wonderful singer.. thanks murali... btw. Welcome Kaushiji....
ReplyDeleteThe more I Listen to it, the more I'm getting addicted to her songs.
ReplyDeleteI'm @ complete loss of words.
Eager to listen to the Orchestrated version of Barse !!
Cheers,
Barani
Divine... No other word!!!
ReplyDeleteTouches a chord deep down, and I as an amateur would be blessed if I can express 10% of this divinity in this lifetime (-:
so much encapsulation!! indeed an artist of highest calibre.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much difference between, this one and other songs of her. Maybe others are old renditions. Totally classic!!
Really fantastic & marvelous song.
ReplyDeleteVery nice collection.

Awesome!!!!! really i fall in depth... the way it's been transformed from "Rasulallah....to Daya ghana" ultimate!!!! aisa lagta hai..bar bar suno...aur dub jao.... thanx swati ji u r gr8... wish to listen some more marathi compositions...
ReplyDeleteUltimate.......is what I can remark on ur effort. This song is very very difficult to sing being very low pitched & controlled slow "Laya"!! A difference in male (Suresh Wadkar) voice seems to be the only distingusing point otherwise u have sung it really well. My hearty compliments & best wishes to u!!
ReplyDeletecan someone please do me a great favour and email me this Rasulallah bandish. Please please. I listen Hridaynath singing this bandish each time I go to his Bhavsargam concert. I have been searching like mad for so many years for the original bandish, but i just could not find it. Swati can you please do me a huge favour, I will never forget your favour. I really beg you to please provide me the original bandish, please. my email address is prashant.galt@gmail.com
