“If music is the food of love, play on” thus said, Shakespeare. Music is the channel to our inner soul, it helps us heal, create and evolve. Someone once said a man who doesn’t like music is a man that cannot be trusted, such a powerful and heavenly thing is music. India is a land that is known for its rich culture and heritage, we are a land of traditions and people who value the teachings of their ancestors. Even the Vedic literature has the mention of Indian classical music, it dates back to older than the 15th century.
It is one of the oldest forms of music in the world, but with the changing times, the importance and value of Indian Classical music are getting diminished. Few people want to pursue Indian Classical music, we all are running towards western music.
Bazm-e-Khas: The Boon Indian Classical Music was looking for
Indian classical music is a form of music that has great therapeutic and healing powers. VP Gupta realized the same when once he attended an event by a great musician of Indian Classical music, believed that the music was such that it helped him to connect to God. He felt as if some divine intervention happened while he was listening to Indian classical music.
VP Gupta was also introduced to music at a very young age, actually, he didn’t even realize that music was a very important founding stone in his upbringing. Since his grandmother and father were famous for performing the renditions of bhajans of Lord Krishna, he inevitably became a major part of it, to put it right, it became his staple.
Having such a deeper connection to music, VP Gupta really wanted to do something that would again put our rich lineage of Indian Classical music on the world map and shower it with its due respect and admiration. With this thought in mind, he created, Bazm-e-Khas, a digital platform that aims to bring all the artists of Indian Classical music, under a platform where they can create world-class music, thereby shifting the focus of our own towards the greatness of Indian Classical music.
VP Gupta believes that the only thing that our therapeutic Indian classical music need is a platform, that can showcase the unbelievable performances of the stalwarts of the Indian classical music industry and also the budding talents. This platform will not only help to put Indian Classical music on the world map, but it will also help to draw the attention of our youth towards Indian Classical music.
