    I will check the Hindu, but does this invitation have a price? If not, you could mention it here. Not having a price (or having a low price) is actually an USP :)

    Congratulations on the debut at Music Academy!
    I will miss it though.
    I enjoyed the ones on Pantuvarali , Kalyani etc. U could have touched on the melakarta classification and dwelt on the similarities and differences between Pantuvarali and Purvikalyani for example.Just some thoughts which came to my mind. Take them or leave them!
    Bon voyage on your IsaippayaNam!

    My debut at the Music Academy was several years ago :-) I give the same respect to any auditorium, be it the Academy or anywhere else. Music is divine..

    Sincere Best Wishes for todays event. Happy for your breakthrough into these citadels of classical music, of the Isaipayanam concept combining film music, along with your serial of ‘A Raga's Journey’ in The Hindu, . It is a breakthrough even though you rightly treat all venues equally.

I have to identify it!!!!

Dear Rasika, The wonderful thing about Ragas in the Indian Classical music system is that they are unique, and each one of them have something that is typically only associated with them, that which is irreplaceable. It is easy to fool an average listener in a little game of "Identify the raga" in a post-dinner Carnatic music party, and chuckle as he identifies a Sri raga as a Madhyamavati or a Pharas as a Mayamalavagowla..but how many of us self-confessed aficionados of this great system really have a fool-proof method of unambiguously identifying, each time, every time, the raga correctly? I doubt very many of us do, and this includes the smug critic or the know-it-all mama-mami duo next door. Lets face it - there are many factors that go into identifying a raga - the musical intelligence of the person who is playing or singing in the specimen recording, the level of sophistication of the music system, the extent of deafness of the listener or the lack of it, peer pressur...

Bhairavi Swarajati - Amba Kamakshi

Image
Creating this recording and the video was a spiritual experience for me. Raga Bhairavi has magical powers and envelopes the soul. This kriti "Amba Kamakshi" was composed on the goddess at Kanchi "Kamakshi" by the great Shyama Sastri. This kriti is a call of the child's soul to the divine mother "Amba". Each and every person can relate to this call to the divine, this I truly believe. I dedicate this video and kriti to Kanchi Kamakshi Ambal, Sri Mahaperiyava and Shyama Sastri. I also recall with fond love my guru Late Smt Savitri Saytamurthy who painstakingly taught me this piece "Amba Kamakshi" and many other precious gems in music.  More on Raga Bhairavi: Raga Bhairavi - SoundCloud Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/charulathamani/sets/raga-bhairavi A Raga's Journey - Bewitching Bhairavi: http://charulathamani.blogspot.in/2012/07/ragas-journey-bewitching-bhairavi.html
