Listen to this Bandish performed by Azalea Ray, a Toronto-based artist. What do you feel when you listen to this piece? Does it evoke a sense of swinging?
The Museum commissioned Ray to create a new Bandish inspired by a painting in our collection. The painting, from a Ragamala series, evokes what a person would feel when hearing the Hindola Raga, a musical mode associated with the early morning hours from midnight to 3 am. The Bandish is distinguished by its “swinging” nature and slow melody.
Watch this short Pocket Performance to see the painting (AKM923) and listen to Ray's musical interpretation.
Pocket Performances are presented by TD Bank Group.
