Kaushiki Indian Classical
Kaushiki Chakrabarty prowess as a khayal singer is well known, but she is adept at singing other ‘light classical’ genres like thumri, dadra, kajri, chaiti, bhajan etc. Whatever her chosen form, her singing is characterized by a fine balance of virtuosity, intellectual rigor and aesthetic sensibility.
Her mature vistaars in khayal and her emotionally charged improvisations in thumris are as powerful as her supersonic taans across three and ahalf octaves.
Though she is one of the foremost representatives of the Patiala Gharana today – and of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan’s gayaki – she has analyzed every aspect of the gharana before internalizing it.
Her famous songs are;
Songs: Babul; Kahe karat mose(Khamaj Thumri); Kahe Maan Karo; Hamsadhwani Thillana; Rangi Sari Gulabi Chunaria; Lagi Lagi; Yaad Piya Ki Aaeye; Saiyyan Mora re; Rahon Tere Peechhe; Hridoy Amar Nache Re; and many more.
