Kutcheri Kolaveri

In the spirit of the season, yet another "Kolaveri" spin-off, emailed by an unidentified source:

Kutcheri kolaveri kutcheri kolaveri di.....
Kutcheri kolaveri kutcheri kolaveri di....

December season enter enter margazhi kolaveri fever
Artist singing audience chatter they will sleep-u later
Kutcheri kolaveri kutcheri kolaveri di...
Puncture aana throat-u throat-u no sing only bark-u
Secretary eyes meet-u meet-u my future-u dark-u

Empty hall-u white hair-u eyes full-a fear-u
Next-u Friday review come-u life-u reverse-u gear-u
Mamas mamas o my mamas you showed-u me bow-u
Rava rava onion rava u go eat in canteen-u
God-u I sing for 3 hours-u
Nobody come how-u??
This song for jilpa boys-u we dont have voice-u

Anyone singing in the chennai music season afternoon siesta concerts can identify with this, I think. Irreverent, but funny nevertheless...

    Ah..You have had some insider information regarding the themes for the season!
    Some were disappointing so far...going by YouTube! Raga aspects were very good. More of a "Pavam than Bahavam (Bahavam thanae Pavam)" in few cases!

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
