No festival of India is such an important constituent of our traditional classical and folk music as Holi. This festival of colors, is one that adorns our lives with the synergy of celebrative air and music. This joyous festival is in tune with the gaiety of the spring season when this festival is held. The windswept, withering, winter scene is truly dabbed away with the vibrant colors of blossoming flowers heralding spring, a time for the earth to rejuvenate. The refreshing southern breeze successfully chases out the chilly northern wind, in the Hindu month of 'Phalgun'. The fervor, fun and frolic of the festival reflect the essence of harvest and hope.

Hello Sir,

Here is my blog

I am interested in Amir Khan gayaki. If you have info, please share through blog.
Please go through this article :
Amir Khan : the unorthodox revolutionary
why dou say amir is unorthodox revolutionary
Because unlike his contemporaries, he did not believe in the Gharana system. It is another matter that Indore Gharana was built by those who followed his style. He also had a different point of view on 'Tarana'. He maintained an unique style in his singing and refrained from singing Thumris and Dadras.
Really a marvelous collection. This is the collection I was in search of since 15-20 years. No where I got except here. My whole family, especially My PAPA JI loved it.

I like piya sang khelun hori by ustad rashid khan if u have show me
Sorry, none of the audio clips are true Holi. Holi gayaki is a peculiar form of singing and the true mood of Holi is found is Raga Kafi and Pilu, some in Basant and even in Bhairavi.
Holi gayaki is different from Kajri, dadra or Thumari of Purabi ang.
