Classical vs Massical Music.
I forgot the name but some renowned Artist said the above words. Vilayat Khan have repeatedly protested against an Artist's freedom -even during his era. At present things have reached a certain stage from where there is no return. Artists are frustrated and quite a few numbers are having heart problems too (KK). Who is to blame? Probably we are all responsible or maybe the Time itself. I would like to relate a story of Tansen here.He was performing before Akbar the Mughal Emperor.Soon the Emperor noticed that some among the audiences were repeatedly moving their heads and loudly saying ',Aha aha' at the wrong time.He immediately requested Tansen to stop for a while. He announced that those found moving their heads or shouting Aha will have too move out. Tansen began once again. After sometime few heads started moving and there were few Ahas too.Akbar ordered the audiences (who were not moving their heads with Ahas) to leave the darbar. From Tansen to the present day Artist...
