Bhoopal Todi | Harjinderpal Matharu | Santoor

#santoor #todi #indianclassicalinstrumental
We hope you enjoy this excerpt from Harjinderpal Matharu's Directors Cut concert. Harjinderpal Matharu opens the Darbar festival 2007 with a rare morning raga - Bhoopal Todi. Matharu is a quiet in nature but a very well-spoken musician brimming with infectious confidence on stage. His chiselled projection and detailing of a raga are pregnant with melodic sensitivity. He stands out as one of the finest disciples of Pandit Sharma, apart from being the senior-most too.

Raag Bhoopal Todi is a derivative of the Bhairavi family. However, its distinctive Todi-like characteristics especially in the upper octave gives it the suffix of Todi. It is akin to the Carnatic raga Bhoopalam and uses komal Re, Ga and Dha. It omits Ma from the scale and has an ascent and descent like the Hindustani raga Bhopali with the exception that Re, Ga and Dha are all komal. Interestingly, the scale has been named ‘Bhoopal Todi’.
Shahbaz Hussain strikes a fine balance with captivating improvisations and a nuanced accompaniment. Also based in the UK, Khan has become one of the most endearing accompanists to musicians because of his gripping and supportive playing.
