00:00In the 45th program of the week, we had two Dighajyos in 2024.
00:07One of them was Zakir Hussain, and the other was Manju Mehta.
00:16After Zakir Hussain's death, it is a little sad to say Waheguru.
00:22But in tabla, he brings along the same colourful classical music,
00:27Pawan Siddham, who is from Nagpur, the centre of India.
00:32Pawan ji, first tell us, this is Manju Mehta's first week.
00:37This tradition has been going on for 45 years.
00:39You play the tabla, the classical music of India,
00:43you play it with a sweet sound.
00:46So, what is your style of playing the tabla, and what is it's importance?
00:52First of all, I am from Farookhabad Gharana.
00:57I am a disciple of Pandit Nayan Gurdji.
01:00The speciality of Farookhabad Gharana is that it is very delicate,
01:06and a lot of work is done on the nikas.
01:09There is a lot of clarity in every word,
01:15so we pay a lot of attention to that.
01:19In Farookhabad, it is called the band-baaj.
01:23So, a lot of work is done on the band-baaj.
01:26So, the present time is a different kind of music.
01:31So, what is the importance of classical music in this music?
01:36And in Indian culture, how did music become a means of connecting people and society?
01:43If you want to play classical music, you have to learn classical music.
01:51Whether it is thumri, light, gazal,
01:56to play classical music in any field, you have to know classical music.
02:03So, classical music is the base of any field.
02:08So, the tabla in classical music,
02:11the whole of India is happy with the name Zakir Hussain.
02:15It was an expression, you know, Zakir Hussain.
02:18So, in 2024, we have lost Zakir Hussain.
02:22So, what is new in tabla,
02:25which can bring back the youth of India to tabla?
02:29Yes, I mean, the sadness of Zakir's departure is so great
02:33that I don't know if it will ever be fulfilled.
02:36It has been a great loss for all tabla players.
02:40But it is impossible to get out of this loss.
02:46So, I don't think it will ever be fulfilled,
02:50that Zakir Hussain's absence will ever be fulfilled.
02:52He has been in Ahmedabad for 45 years.
02:55It is his tradition, it is his history.
02:57So, you have performed in Ahmedabad.
03:01So, what did you feel?
03:02I mean, this is my second year here.
03:06And I have always, I mean, I had come to competitions before.
03:10So, I had a different experience of competitions.
03:13There is a musical atmosphere there.
03:17That musical atmosphere and all the audience there,
03:21everyone has a wonderful atmosphere.
03:24And the festival is just amazing.
03:26The festival is called India's biggest festival.
03:31So, I always enjoy coming here.
03:35Pawan ji, you have won Nandan Mehta Sahitya Taal Vidya Sparda 2024.
03:41Yes.
03:42So, what do you feel?
03:44Today, as a complete artist,
03:48you have kept your art in front of the people of Ahmedabad.
03:54So, the art of Ahmedabad,
03:59and the art that you have kept today,
04:01what do you think is the importance of it in the new era?
04:06I will not say that I am an artist.
04:10I have played here as a student.
04:12But I got a different experience of playing here today.
04:16I mean, all the great musicians have played here.
04:20So, it is a blessing for me that I got a chance to play here today.
04:24One last question.
04:25One last question.
04:26For a young artist like you,
04:28how much will the platform of Saptak remember you for the rest of your life?
04:33I will remember it for the rest of my life.
04:35Since childhood, I used to think that one day I have to go to a competition.
04:39I mean, I used to think about competitions only.
04:41But I got it that year, in the first tour.
04:45So, it is like a dream for me.
04:47It is a very big thing.
04:49So, this is the land that will make your dream come true.
04:53Saptak is the platform where an artist
04:56respects his Indian culture and his guru
05:00and keeps the Indian culture alive.
