Saregama launches music of Bhagwan Dada – ‘Ekk Albela’
Bhagwan Dada had the body of a wrestler and the jiggle of a Ginger Rogers. His body had rhythm and music embedded deep within him. He underplayed his moves but still swayed like the night shade. His body's rhythms carried the sinuous wavelike motion of the gaja gamini. He saw people. Noticed their inherent swing. He let their tempos move him emotionally and corporeally. He tried to assimilate new ideas by trying out the rhythms of those you encounter. All might not have been original but he captured a move, a quip, a flick of a wrist, a twist, a quasi jhatka and a feline matka and made it his own. He owned it! He danced to tune which one couldn't name. There wrest his greatness.
