Matwaro Badal
About Matwaro Badal
\"Matwaro Badal\" is a khayal composition performed by vocalist Kishori Amonkar in the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana style. The track appears as the sixth entry on the album Bhaktimala – Krishna, Volume 2, released in 2005 on compact disc. The recording spans 5 minutes and 42 seconds.
The album forms part of a devotional series dedicated to Krishna bhajans and classical renditions, though specific raga or tala details for this track remain undocumented in available sources. Amonkar’s interpretation reflects her signature approach to badhat (progression) and layakari (rhythmic play), with an emphasis on textual clarity in the lyrics. The accompanying instrumentalists and tabla artists are not credited in the provided context.
Bhaktimala – Krishna, Volume 2 was distributed under an unspecified label, with the series targeting audiences of Hindustani classical and bhakti music. The tracklist includes traditional and semi-classical pieces, though \"Matwaro Badal\" stands out as a khayal-based work. Further production details, including recording location or session musicians, are not publicly verified.
Amonkar’s discography frequently explores devotional themes alongside pure classical repertoire, and this album aligns with her later-career recordings that blend technical rigor with devotional expression. The release year places it among her final studio projects before her death in 2017.
