Bhendibazaar gharana

The Bhendibazaar gharana is one of the vocal gharanas of Indian classical music, which originated in Bhendi Bazaar area of Mumbai in 1890.

History and features

The Bhendibazaar gharana was founded around 1890 by brothers Chhajju Khan, Nazir Khan and Khadim Hussain Khan in the Bhendi bazaar area of Mumbai. The features of this gharana include using 'aakaar' for presenting khyals in an open voice, with clear intonation, a stress on breath-control, singing long passages in a single breath, a preference for madhyalaya (medium tempo) and use of the well-known Merukhand or Khandmeru system for extended alaps. Chhajju Khan's son Aman Ali Khan and Anjanibai Malpekar, are well-known exponents of this gharana. Amir Khan's father Shahmir Khan belonged to this gharana and passed on the tradition to his son.[1]

gollark: Maybe it was lost in the *incident*.
gollark: Stores could upload their current pricing/stock to a web API, and you could just query it to find the best place to buy something.
gollark: I think what would also be neat is a central price comparison/stock tracking system.
gollark: Higher work → mining produces blocks faster for same amount of H/sLower work → the opposite, slower blocks for same H/sThe server automatically tries to balance it so you get 1 block a minute.
