Born in a Family of Musicians, Music Is a Divine Blessing to Pravin
! ! GURU AND EARLY TUTELAGE: Born in a family of musicians, music is a divine blessing to Pravin. He hails from Dharwad, a place which has given to the world many great musicians like Pt Bhimsen Joshi, Gangubai Hangal and Pt Kumar Gandharva. He is fortunate to have his father Pandit VENKATESH GODKHINDI, an eminent vocalist and Bansuri arCste of the country, as his first and only Guru for Flute. Pravin started toying with a small flute at the tender age of 3 and since then it has been his best companion. His passion for Flute could hardly be matched with anything else even during his childhood. With such a passion blended with early hours of rigorous Riyaz under the able guidance of his guru, Pravin started exhibiCng the glimpses of a genius in the making. Pravin gave his first public concert at the age of 6 years and held the audience spellbound. His quest for deeper knowledge about LAYAKAARI brought him to his Guru, Vidwan ANOOR ANANTH KRISHNA SHARMA a reputed Mridangam arCste who is providing able guidance to Pravin on the deeper aspects of LAYA and LAYAKAARI. TWO DIFFERENT STYLES OF PLAYING: His father has taught him Hindustani BANSURI in KIRANA GHARAANA GAYAKI STYLE. But Pravin added the GATKAARI or TANTRAKAARI STYLE by his own efforts and succeeded in it. He is adept in both the styles. Sonorous blowing, control over the breath, elaboraCons of Raga with its aestheCc appeal, extraordinary and skillful rendiCon of Layakaari are but a few salient features of his flute recital. He has been ably balancing both tradiConal and creaCve music.

Literature and Culture 637 CHAPTER 14 LITERATURE AND CULTURE harwad is the cultural capital of North Karnataka. Ancient temples, Mutts and Agraharas in the D district encouraged the spread of education here and paved the way for the growth of literature and folk arts as well. Pampa was born in Annigeri. It has a tradition of poets starting with Kumara Vyasa, Kanakadasa and Sarvajna down to Shishunala Sharief and Bendre. Institutions like the Training College, Basel Mission, Vidyavardhaka Sangha, Karnatak University and All India Radio Station have in different ways helped the spread of scholarship and creativity. It was here that Aalur Venkata Rao convened the first writers conference in Karnataka. In the field of literature, it was here that the friends circle which developed around Bendre was formed and nurtured. Dharwad is known all over India as a major centre of Hindustani music. Mallikarjuna Mansur hails from here. In theatre too, it was in this district that Sriranga tried his experiments with amateur troupes and professionals like Shirahatti Venkoba Rao, Vamanarao Master and Garud Sadashiva Rao carried on their theatre activities. Professional theatre has received constant support in Hubli city. Many of the theatre artistes from here have made it to the cinema as well. Literature and theatre of the region have played a unique role in national awakening. Temples and fairs of the region have been a fountain of inspiration for the folk arts.

Oangeet Natak
oangee£~^ VOLUME XLIII, NUMBER 2, 2009 t Natak Aesthetics, History and Society: the Case of North Indian Classical Music Transported by Song: Music and Cultural Labour in Dharwad TEJASWINI NIRANJANA I This essay is an exercise in thinking through the issues involved in putting together a new project. It will aim to set out some of the problems I am encountering as I try to formulate my research questions—the dilemmas over directions to take or avoid; the anxiety about how to interpret diverse sorts of materials; about what methods to adopt; about how to constitute my archive. My last project took me deep into the analysis of Caribbean popular music in terms of the social grids that sustain it. The book, Mobilizing India: Women, Music and Migration between India and Trinidad (2006), was followed by a documentary film called Jahaji Music (dir. Surabhi Sharma, 2007). The film engaged with the musical culture of the Caribbean through the journey and collaborations of an Indian musician, Remo Fernandes. The Remo project—which tried to pursue the possibility of connection in another sphere, that of actual musical practice—seemed to be a logical if somewhat unexpected outcome of the earlier scholarly endeavour. Perhaps the most predictable direction I could have taken next would have been to pursue the story of the Indian diaspora and its musical negotiations in the United Kingdom for example, where once again the Indian and the African come together to form different sorts of cultural equations. However, the insights I gained from thinking about music, nationalism and race in Trinidad took me in another direction altogether.
