 What happens when one has a great musician for a
father and teacher? One, no doubt, walks in the
footsteps of the grand tradition, but also learns
to go beyond. Rajshekhar Mansur, son of the
maestro Mallikarjun Mansur, is one such
illustrious vocalist.
Mallikarjun Mansur was initially very disapproving of his son
taking to music. He didn't want his children to
suffer the way he did. (Mallikarjun Mansur was 60
when recognition came his way.) But by then,
Rajshekhar Mansur was hooked to music and there was
no looking back. "By the time I was 20, I started
accompanying him. Much of my learning happened on
the concert stage," he says with awe. "One wonders
about how far an artiste's imagination can reach,
and how far they can push the contours of the raga
and still maintain it as a raga, without harming its
structure. He never rehearsed the ragas he would
sing in a particular concert. It came
spontaneously." |
