The debut song of Suchitra and Sangeeta Mohapatra , known as Samuduni song... (1978) was an instant hit... a satire on the dowry system ,it gave a strong social message...written by Sulochana Mohanty... it was a must play at social occasions and puja pandals of the era... https://t.co/IuItrTtveE

All the commercial publishing of Banikantha was on HMV from 30's till early 70's. Digitization was done in 1997 with release of two Albums. This was followed by addition of some more songs on CDs. Still then these consist of a fraction of his copious recordings... https://t.co/hKmG6qb13o

They are doing that now.....some unavailable records are now officially available on YT and other platforms. Like He Banagiri He Latagiri, many of his Ramalila renditions, etc. A great deal of his remaining Odissi Chaupadi & Champu renditions are yet to be recovered.

Khanu Mian of Cuttack was a great Odissi musician of his time. All of his gramophone records are Odissi chaupadis, set to traditional Ragas Purabi, Kanada Kedara, Khambaja. He was one of Kabichandra Kali Charan Patnaik's gurus. Here's what Kali Babu writes in his autobiography : https://t.co/o3Y25ZCGh9

Khan Mohammed (Khanu Mian) is believed to be the first recorded voice in Odia, recorded in 1907 by Gramophone Company.
But according to Australian researcher Michael Kinnear, Hemendra Mohan Bose of Kolkata had recorded Odia artistes on cylinder well before that
https://twitter.com/OdiaCulture/status/1176813016899182592?s=19
He even says French label Pathe which reissued some of Bose's recording on discs could have reissued some of these Odia recordings, though he is not sure. 
The name(s) of artiste(s) is/are not known.

Though some of cylinders were transferred to Pathe label... none of them were in Odia... the list of labels and number of records released till 1911... from Michael Kinnear’s second volume of early Indian recordings mentions ... 22 Odia records were released by Gramophone Co. .. https://t.co/r79GL3rWpQ

ମନଟା ମୁଗ୍ଧ ନଥିଲେ ସାହିତ୍ୟ ଜନ୍ମେନା

Born in Parlakhemundi, Apanna Panigrahi was a prodigious singer.Hailed as Surdas of Utkala... held the listeners spellbound..luckily his voice is preserved for posterity through his few recordings on Hindustan Records...’Mohana Madhuri..’ from his 78 RPM .. 1932 recording.. https://t.co/QETLIA80RG
One or two of Apanna’s records remain to be archived... kudos to you for tracking all those ancient lyrics... of not only of Apanna,but also the early 1906-09 Odia recordings..all the thanks to you would be less for the effort..🙏

Gāyaka-Siromani Apanna Panigrahi (1893-1936), one of the great Odissi musicians of the last century. His voice mingled with the vīnā indistinguishably. He often moved people to tears by singing chhāndas. Utkalamani Gopabandhu was very fond of Apanna. #OdissiMusic
https://twitter.com/pattaprateek/status/1306837087715426304?s=19
Undoubtedly. Knowing technicalities is one thing and transcending them is another. ୟାଙ୍କର ଯିଏ ଶୁଣିଛି ତାକୁ ଆଉ କିଛି ଭଲ ଲାଗିବନି । 🙏
Also see the taanas - how they are structured to the swing of the Tala & Chhanda - this is the typical Odissi style of taana.

Priceless : Parasamani Debadasi sings a beautiful janana. Maharis or Debadasis, sebayatas of the Puri Temple would sing & dance for Jagannatha — to whom they were ritually married. This tradition was initiated by the great Jayadeba himself. [subtitled, original footage NCAA] https://t.co/dyw5oQbHgP
https://twitter.com/pattaprateek/status/1141033300716224512?s=19
Unfortunately this tradition is no longer extant. There are no Maharis left, and with them is forever gone a huge amount of knowledge— that of Odissi classical music and dance.

ତାଙ୍କୁ ପରଦା ରେ ଦେଖିଲେ ଲାଗେ ଯେମିତି ନିଜର କେହି ଜଣେ । ତାଙ୍କ କହିଲା ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ କଥା ରେ ଥାଏ ଓଡ଼ିଆ ହୃଦୟ କୁ ଜିଣିବା ର ଗୋଟେ କଳା । ତାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ସଂଳାପ ଓଡ଼ିଆ ମଧ୍ୟବିତ୍ତ ପରିବାର ର ସ୍ୱର। ତାଙ୍କର ଜୀବନ୍ତ ଅଭିନୟ ପାଇଁ ହେମନ୍ତ ଦାସ କଳାପ୍ରେମୀ ଙ୍କ ପାଖରେ ଚିର ସ୍ମରଣୀୟ ।

ପ୍ରାକୃତିକ ସୌନ୍ଦର୍ଯ୍ୟ ର ଭଣ୍ଡାର ହେଲା ରାୟଗଡ଼ା । କୁଲୁ, ମନାଲି ଯାଇନି ବୋଲି ଯାଉ ମାନଙ୍କ ଦୁଃଖ ଅଛି, ଥରେ ଯାଇ ଦକ୍ଷିଣ ଓଡ଼ିଶା ବୁଲି ଆସନ୍ତୁ, ସବୁ ଭୁଲି ଯିବେ ।

କୈଳାଶ ବେହେରା ଙ୍କ ଅଭିନୟ ଆଖି ରୁ ଲୁହ ବାହାର କରିଦେବାକୁ ସକ୍ଷମ ଥିଲା । ହେଲେ ତା ସହ ସେଥିରେ ଜଣେ ହାସ୍ୟ ଅଭିନେତା ଥିଲେ, ଖୁବ୍ ବରିଷ୍ଠ ଓ ବଳିଷ୍ଠ ଅଭିନେତା ।

like a flimsy nightmare,
with staid shrubs 
holding up the sky above the park,
with the crowds milling around shops with wobbly lights."
