Uthi Uthi Gopala

Uthi Uthi Gopala is a Hindustani classical composition performed by Kumar Gandharva. The track appears as the second piece on the album Dev Deenaghari Dhavala – Drama, released under the Saregama label. The recording spans 6 minutes and 28 seconds and circulates in digital media formats.

The album Dev Deenaghari Dhavala – Drama features Kumar Gandharva’s interpretations of devotional and classical themes. The work reflects his signature approach to khayal and semi-classical forms, though specific details about the accompanying artists, recording location, or production personnel remain undocumented in available sources. The tracklist sequence and thematic cohesion suggest a narrative or dramatic structure, but no published materials confirm the precise context of the performance.

Kumar Gandharva (1924–1992) was a prominent exponent of the Gwalior and Jaipur-Atrauli gharanas, known for his innovative adaptations of traditional ragas and folk influences. His rendition of Uthi Uthi Gopala aligns with his broader repertoire of devotional music, often centered on Krishna bhakti themes. The composition’s lyrical content and melodic framework draw from classical and regional traditions, though no authoritative transcription of the lyrics or raga classification exists in public records.

The release date of Dev Deenaghari Dhavala – Drama is not explicitly stated in accessible archives, but Saregama’s catalog suggests it emerged during the late 20th century, likely post-1980. The album’s digital distribution postdates its original physical formats, which may have included LP or cassette releases. No additional tracks, alternate takes, or live versions of Uthi Uthi Gopala from this session are confirmed in documented discographies.
