Raga Bageshree - Bandish of Patiala Gharana
By Shafqat Amanat Ali
Deconstructing Khamaj And Aankhon Ke Sagar
How does one immortalize love in the form of poetry? Through music.
Khamaj (More Saiyyan) and Aankhon Ke Saagar. Two legendary songs that had their own cults. An entire era of romance and beauty, distilled into two musical experiences. So how did Shafqat do it?
Let's ask him!
In this masterclass, Shafqat breaks both the songs, covering:
1. Music composition
2. Vocal tonality
3. Production and harmony
4. Inspiration behind the tracks
And perhaps most importantly, how Shafqat Amanat Ali elevates the studio tracks beyond their potential in live renditions.
Join us for a live musical night, and get to meet Shafqat ji in person, only on LivDemy!
