Bhavageete
MD Pallavi has been awarded the prestigious Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar 2018 in the field of Bhavasangeet (Bhavageete)
Bhavageete is a form of expressionist poetry and light music. Literally meaning "emotion poetry", Bhavageete is a significant part of Indian music. The elements of both classical music and folk music are ideally interwoven in the genre of Bhavageete.
The Bhavageete of Karnataka takes inspiration from modern Kannada poetry. Metrical Poetry written in kannada is set to tune by composers. A form that is unique to Kannada and Marathi languages βthe Bhavageethe or Sugama Sangeeta β came with the intention taking to every home verses written by major poets of the land. Thus lyric and melody got intertwined into a lasting relationship.
Having trained with Mysore Ananthaswamy and Raju Ananthaswmy, Pallavi has been performing Sugama Sangeetha since 1995.
