Tat Bitata Ghan Singar

Hirabai Barodekar (1905–1989) was a prominent Indian classical vocalist of the Kirana gharana. She contributed to the preservation and dissemination of Hindustani classical music through recordings and performances. Her repertoire included khayal, thumri, and bhajan, characterized by a deep, resonant voice and precise intonation.

The 2011 compilation album The Great Heritage: Hirabai Barodekar was released by Saregama in CD format. The album features archival recordings of Barodekar’s performances, showcasing her command over classical and semi-classical forms. The release date is documented as 2011, though the original recording dates of individual tracks remain unspecified.

The track Tat Bitata Ghan Singar appears as the second composition on the album. The piece runs for 4 minutes and 10 seconds. The composition reflects Barodekar’s interpretation of a traditional thumri, a genre known for its expressive and lyrical qualities. The track exemplifies her ability to blend technical rigor with emotional depth, a hallmark of the Kirana gharana style.

Barodekar’s recordings, including those on The Great Heritage, serve as reference material for students and scholars of Hindustani classical music. The album preserves her legacy within the broader tradition of 20th-century Indian vocal music.
