To celebrate the birth centenary year of Pt. Bhimsen Joshi, we have conceptualized this edition of our e-Swaranubhuti series. e-Swaranubhuti February 2022 is a special program created in the image of Pt. Bhimsen ji and his nuanced singing style.
Pandit Jayateerth Mevundi is one of the Kirana gharana’s leading vocalists. Born in Hubli, Jayateerth ji’s initial training began right at home, informally singing bhajans and other devotional music. He recounts that “there was no musician as such in my family, although they would listen to songs on the radio, identify the ragas and appreciate music in general”.
Aged 14 he ventured out to find a guru. He received instruction from Pandit Arjunsa Nakod for over a decade, and later trained with Shripati Padigar, a disciple of Pandit Bhimsen Joshi (“whenever I listened to Bhimsen-ji on the radio, it used to cast a spell on me…”). Many hear a resemblance between his voice and Bhimsen Joshi’s, with strong incorporation of ideas from Carnatic music and a rich abhang repertoire.
He continues to take an eclectic, spiritual approach to classical music.
