The next number, Yeh jaagi jogi in raag gavati, jhaptaal stepped up the pace and demonstrated the singer8217;s ability to fully expound the patterns of the composition even when the taans are vigorous and the paltas complex.

A thumri, Sham Bhaji bin Shyam, was an instant hit with the audience 8212; remarkable for being a seamless blend of classical styles. The Meera bhajan, More Rana ji, main Govind gun gaana, moved at a stately pace suitable for expressing deep emotion.
