Bhendi Bazaar is an area of Bombay which is predominantly Muslim. It's called the mini-Pakistan of Bombay.

Bhendi Bazaar is famous for the Bhendi Bazaar Gharana . Many Pakistani classical music artists belong to this Gharana.

BHENDI BAZAR GHARANA

The founders of this Gharana (School of Hindustani Classical Music) were the three brothers viz. Ustad Chhaju Khan, Najir Khan and Khadim Hussain Khan, all of whom were trained by their father, Ustad Dilawar Khan. All three brothers settled in Mumbai in the area known as Bhendi Bazar and hence the name of this Gharana. The three stalwarts of this school of music were Gana – tapasvini Smt. Anjanibai Malpekar (teacher of Kishori Amonkar) , Shri Pandurang Amberkar Amanali Khan (son of Ustad Chhaju Khan) and Amir Khan. Shri Pandurang Amberkar was a disciple of Ustad Aman Ali Khan Saheb.

The Bhendi Bazar Gharana is known for its special compositions called Bandish. Ustad Chhaju Khan Saheb composed many exquisite ‘Bandish’ under the pseudo-name ‘Amar’. Following the footsteps of his father, Aman Ali Khan Saheb also composed a number of ‘Bandish’ under the same pseudo-name. The name ‘Amar’ therefore, has become the hallmark of the ‘Gharana’. One finds a delightful mixture of ‘Shabda’, ‘Sur’ and ‘Laya’ (Words, Notes & Tempo) in these compositions.

The prominent characteristics of this school is ‘Alapi’ enriched with Ghamak, Soot, and Meend. This requires a tremendous breath control, a systematic presentation of the ‘Bandish’ and its embellished improvisation according to structure of of the ‘Raga’. The entire rendering of the ‘Raga’ is based on the system called ‘Merukhanda’. ‘Merakhanda Gayaki’ is a system of various permutation and combinations of a given set of notes. This style brings out brings out the beauty and melody of the ‘Raga’ in an elaborate and aesthetically rich manner.

Another feature of this school is the blending of the Karnataka Music with the Hindustani Music. Amanali Khan Saheb had made a special study of the Karnataki Music and introduced some of the Karnataka ‘Ragas’ like Hansdhwani and ‘Pratap Warali’ in the Hindustani Music. He also made a very clever use of beautiful ‘Sargama’ of the Karnataka Music.

Profile of Bhendi Bazaar Gharana singer

Gaan Tapaswini Anjanibai Malpekar

Background

Anjanibai Malpekar was born on April 22,1883. She started learning under the strict guidance of Ustad Nazir Khan of Moradabad Uttar Pradesh, since the young age of eight. Her Ustad, along with his brothers Haji Vilayat Hussain Khan and Khadim Hussain Khan shifted to the Bhendi Bazar area of Mumbai and consequently, their style came to be known after this area.

Style

Anjanibai Malpekar represented the Bhendi Bazar Gharana, which stressed on Khayal singing. The basic feature of this style was its dance oriented structure and singing of the sargam as part of the Khayal. The representatives of this Gharana also borrowed rare and beautiful Ragas such as Hamsdhwani and others, from the Carnatic repertoire. The Khayal rendition, in Madhyalaya or Drut Madhyalaya in this Gharana was aesthetic and marked by delicacy. Besides Khayal, Anjanibai also mastered light classical and light music.

Achievements

Anjanibai’s first performance was at Muzaffarabad Hall, in Central Bombay in 1899. This was followed by performances all over the country. She won a number of awards and her fame spread far and wide. It is said that Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande took her help in writing sargams for complicated taans.

Anjanibai had to face a number of difficult situations in the course of her musical career. She lost her voice quite suddenly, which she regained through the blessings of a saint. No sooner had she recovered, that she lost her Ustad, her husband, mother and her spiritual guru in quick succession. This series of personal tragedies made Anjanibai give up performing altogether. However, she continued to guide students and musicians till the end of her days. Anjanibai died on 7th August 1974.
