PANDIT MADHAV BHATKI
Pandit Madhav Bhatki is an acclaimed musician, gifted composer and much
sought after teacher of Hindustani classical music. He is one of the few musicians who upholds
the discipline and purity of the Gwalior gharana.
Hailing from a musical family, Pt. Madhav
Bhatki was initiated into music at an early age by
Pt. Ganpatbua Purohit
(disciple of Pt. Bakhalebuwa). Later he received advanced training from
Pt. Rajarambua Paradkar
of Gwalior
gharana for many years. He also had guidance from
Pt. S.B. Deshpande and Pt. Manikbua
Thakurdas.
Pt. Madhav Bhatki
was a regular performer in the trinity club, Bombay, where he also got fine-grained
guidance from the top stalwarts of Hindustani classical music. He also underwent tabla
training from Pt. Yeshwant Kerkar,
Bombay.
Pandit Madhav Bhatki migrated to USA in 1972 and continued his
musical explorations himself. During
every visit to India,
he associated with noted scholar musician - Pandit
C R Vyas, who was his guru-bandhu
earlier. Deeply impressed by Madhav Bhatki's musical skills,
Pt. C R Vyas steered and nurtured him further with
his own and traditional Gwalior
and Agra gharana compositions.
Pandit Madhav Bhatki
is a virtuoso musician, blessed with a very powerful voice that turns every
single note into a highly precisioned perfection
while maintaining an absolute divinity.
His artistic imagination coupled with the structured development of
ragas and swift tans are truly mesmerizing and enthrall audiences with their
emotional appeal.
Being an exponent in tabla himself, Pandit Madhav Bhatki uses it to his advantage and delights worldwide
audience with rare talas, laykaaris
etc. He has performed many concerts in
India and USA. He has also accompanied various stalwarts
of Hindustani classical music including Pt. Rajarambua
Paradkar, Pt. C R Vyas, Pandit Jitendra
Abhisheki etc. Madhav Bhatki is also a master composer. Hundreds of his "prema guni" signature
compositions are always extremely delightful to musical connoisseurs for
their extraordinary melodic structures and challenging cycle-points.
