It appears that the year of the Malkauns festival as stated in the anecdote requires a review. We are working on it. — Editor

This is an incident from the year 1975 which took place at Kalamandir. At the program, there was present Jnan Prakash Ghosh, A.T. Kanan, Prasun Bandyopadhyay, Budhadeb Dasgupta and Malabika Kanan. At that time, I was in eighth standard in school, and this was an incident from the year 1984 and I had just begun my journey in the musical world through experiencing whole night conferences. The first performance that I remember was a duet by Jnan Prakash Ghosh and V Balsara. It was a different kind of experience altogether- the duet of harmonium and piano. Though I wasn’t able to appreciate much, but I really liked it. After one more performance, Kanan Saheb went on stage. He sang the Bageshree Raga- “Sakhi Man Laagi” with the Sa into the Sam. Ten minutes after he began, there was a power cut, which lasted for 45 minutes. I remember, the crowd was totally silent, and Kanan Saheb went on with his performance uninterrupted. Can there be anything more technical than this?
Kalamandir, A renowned auditorium of Kolkata
I had a balcony seat, which used to cost ten rupees back in those days, and I listened to him. I don’t remember the names of his companion, who was excellent as well. I felt Kanan Saheb’s voice was like an arrow, from my balcony seat. If it would have taken place today, even I would have stopped singing in the power cut. This incident has been imprinted in my mind since then.
