thank you...I was under the impression it was very much improvised during the show. It is called Bangla Dhun in the liner notes for the DVD.
Is ther a translation to english for bhatiyali dhun ??

Array ( 1 week ago by vinaypande)

bangla=bengali
dhun=(folk)tune
bhatiyali is the raga some (many) bengali folk tunes are set to, as is this one.
the folk tune is traditional, after stating it a few times with the tabla reciting a cyclical beat, the performer then improvises notes in the same raga ( bhatiyali in this case) to the same tala ( cyclical rhythmic beat
