RANAKANT SANT’s music is rooted in the khayal idiom and has a deeply satisfying quality arising from unassuming musicianship, and the absence of showmanship or populist intent. Ramakant Sant presents khayal bandishes in raga Bhatiyar, a raga performed around dawn, Bihag, regarded as a raga of shringara rasa (romantic sentiment), and a thumri-style bandish in raga Piloo, which is frequently performed at the end of a concert.
