Eri Aise Kaise Ghar Jaaun

Hirabai Barodekar was a prominent Indian classical vocalist of the Kirana gharana. She contributed significantly to the preservation and propagation of Hindustani classical music in the 20th century. Her repertoire included khayal, thumri, and bhajan, characterized by a deep, resonant voice and precise taan execution.

The compilation album The Great Heritage: Hirabai Barodekar released on January 1, 2011, under the Saregama label. The album features archival recordings in CD format, showcasing Barodekar’s performances across classical and semi-classical genres. The collection highlights her command over raga presentation and emotional depth in devotional compositions.

The track Eri Aise Kaise Ghar Jaaun appears as the 11th song on the album. The composition runs for 3 minutes and 5 seconds and exemplifies Barodekar’s interpretation of a traditional thumri. The piece reflects her ability to blend lyrical phrasing with rhythmic intricacy, a hallmark of her artistic style. Additional details about the raga, lyricist, or accompanying artists remain undocumented in available sources.

Barodekar’s recordings, including those on The Great Heritage, serve as reference material for students and scholars of the Kirana gharana. Saregama’s reissue of her work introduced her music to newer generations while preserving the fidelity of original performances. The album does not include liner notes detailing session dates or collaborating musicians, limiting further contextual analysis.
