A sneak peek into my latest album on "Lullabies" for Geetanjali Audio...dedicated to all lovely moms out there and cute babies:-) (of course, dear daddies too)
CLM, Are you performing this December season? Where can I find your schedule? In fact is there some place on the web providing schedules for all the leading artists? I am trying to plan a few days of my December trip attending concerts of the best ones and so far was unable to find related information at one place. I am not familiar with Chennai and so will need to plan ahead. Also Question about training in Carnatic - my 6 yr old is through Alankarams in her training. I have a desire to put her in Western classical on side to get the best of both worlds from Voice culture perspective. But don't know if that is beneficial in the long or short run or may be detrimental. Please your opinion will be valuable to us.

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.

Vaidehi Kathirunthal is a 1984 film written and directed by R. Sundarrajan, starring Vijayakanth and Revathi. The story was developed based on songs that Ilaiyaraaja had composed earlier. Released on 23 October 1984, it became a commercial success and emerged a breakthrough in 'Captain' Vijayakanth's career. The film is memorable to this day for its evergreen raga-based music by the maestro Ilaiyaraja. Abhogi ragam: T he evergreen classic ' Indraikku en indha anandame ' is an example of how a classical raga may be adapted to silver screen seamlessly and uncompromisingly. This composition of Ilayaraja is set in tisra nadai, the beat progressing in threes, making for lively listening. The singers Vani Jayaram and Jayachandran, both classically adept, cleverly navigate through the sangatis in “kanavugalin suyamvaramo”, gently swaying the Gandhara towards Madhyama and back. Chandrakauns ragam: Ilaiyaraaja has explored this raga to its fullest in ‘ Azhagu Malar ...
