Hori - Hori Khelo Mose Nand

Hori – Hori Khelo Mose Nand is a traditional Hori composition performed by vocalist Hirabai Barodekar. The track appears as the sixth entry on the album The Great Heritage: Hirabai Barodekar, released on 2011 by Saregama in CD format. The recording spans 3 minutes and 17 seconds.

The album compiles Barodekar’s renditions of classical and semi-classical works rooted in the Kirana gharana. Hori – Hori Khelo Mose Nand exemplifies the Hori genre, a devotional folk style associated with the festival of Holi in the Braj region. The lyrics invoke playful exchanges between Radha and Krishna, framed within the pastoral themes of Brajbhasha poetry. Barodekar’s interpretation retains the characteristic rhythmic liveliness and melodic embellishments of the tradition.

Hirabai Barodekar (1905–1989) emerged as a prominent exponent of the Kirana gharana, trained under Ustad Abdul Karim Khan and later Ustad Abdul Wahid Khan. Her repertoire bridged classical khayal, light classical forms, and devotional music. Saregama’s 2011 compilation revisits archival recordings, though the original session dates for this track remain undocumented in publicly available sources. The album serves as part of Saregama’s Great Heritage series, which preserves legacy performances of Indian classical and folk artists.
