Biography edit

Honaji was born into a Nandgawali family in Saswad and moved to Pune with his mother Vithabai. His father, uncle (Bala Bahiru), and grand father (Satappa) were also musicians (shahirs).[1][3] He was a milkman by day and musician in the evenings as a part of entertainment troupe at the Peshwa residence.[citation needed]

Honaji was initially patronised by Sawai Madhavrao Peshwa with an honorarium of 300 per year.[3] After Madhavrao's death, he was supported by the last Peshwa Baji Rao II. Later in career, he moved to Baroda where he received an annual sum of 200 from the Gaekwad prince.[3]

Mutual enmity brought about his murder in a forest near Pune.[2][3]

Career edit

Honaji composed over 200 Lavani and Powadas.[1] He contributed significantly for the development of Lavani music genre. He was the first to set Lavanis using classical Ragas and converted Tamashas into musical concerts.[3]

Honaji's work often promoted female perspective in poetry, and with encouragement from Peshwa Baji Rao II, he composed Sringara lavanis.[1][6] In his historical/mythological lavanis, Honaji followed the lyrical style of Shridhar Kavi and Mukteshwar, Eknath's grandson.[1]

He introduced tabla in place of the traditional dholki. He also developed the baithakichi Lavani, a subgenre, which is presented by the singer in the seated position.[7][8] He incorporated Tambori in his performances.[4]

Honaji also wrote a few ballads but he was less successful in this regard.[3]

Media edit

The Marathi film, Amar Bhoopali, produced and directed by V. Shantaram in 1953 is based on the life of Honjai Bala. Panditrao Nagarkar played the role of Honaji Bala with Lalita Pawar and Sandhya in supporting roles. The screenplay was written by Vishram Bedekar.[4]

A Marathi play titled Sangeet Honaji Bala starring Bhalchandra Pendharkar and Suresh Haldankar, first aired in 1954.[9]
