Music Monday with a Maestro #6: Pt Arjun Mishra
In hindi, the word sangeet encompasses both music and dance. When the term shastriya sangeet is translated to Indian classical music, the translation is not 100% correct.
The Music Monday series has a focus on shastriya sangeet so I am considering the Indian meaning of the term and sharing a classical dance video today.
This video is of Pandit Arjun Mishra. When I first saw this video, I was thoroughly impressed with his power and control. His chakars are outstanding and his footwork controlled and precise. There are many stories of his dedication to Kathak and how he would practice through the night to master compositions given to him that day. You can see his mastery in this video.
