Bageshree - Tarana

Combining melody, rhythm and movement, ‘Tarana’ is a unique experience of all that Indian classical arts encompass. With its percussive footwork and rhythmic spontaneity, Indian classical dances are as much about music as they are about choreography. Bageshree Vaze attempts to showcase this with ‘Tarana,’ and has adapted and arranged the musical selections for dance performance. Having performed widely in Canada, the U.S, and India, Vaze draws on years of experience in choreography and dance presentation, and her own vocal training, to create this one-of-a-kind album. Some of the songs, such as ‘In Akbar’s Palace,’ ‘Tarana’ and ‘Dhoot (Messenger)’ are adaptations of compositions by some of India’s finest artists, including Smt. Veena Sahasrabuddhe, Pt. Balwantrai Bhatt, and Pt. C.R. Vyas, and some are original compositions by Vaze, such as ‘Vinayak,’ ‘Yoga’ and ‘Bageshree’s Thillana.’ Rhythmic repertoire in the songs is drawn from stalwarts such as Pt. Kishan Maharaj, Pt. Birju Maharaj, and Shree Jai Kishan Maharaj, and there some new and unique compositions by Vineet Vyas, tabla virtuoso and producer of the album.
