shaheediyan Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 http://www.beatofindia.com/forms/kavishri.htm Kavisri was started by the 10th Guru "Guru Govind Singh". It is an energetic and very dynamic style of singing where the singer's gusto compensates for the lack of instruments. Kavishri performers sing about historical events in the form of poetry. There are nine accepted rasas or flavours of singing, out of which four are prominent. They are hasya ras (comic), Shant ras (quiet), Verag ras (mystic) and Veer ras (heroic). It is the Veer ras that is most commonly sung today. There are innumerable songs, poetic compositions called kavits and the on-the-spot compositions of Kavishris in praise of an individual or an event that are sung under this genre. Here are some classics from Bhai Jogi Singh Ji Jogi: http://music.punjabcentral.com/artist/?artist=1194 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
