    Your concert today as a tribute to the legend Lalgudi jayaraman was indeed soothing.you excelled in all the renditions.Mand keerthanai was really superb. நீà®™்க பாடிய à®®ாண்ட கேட்க à®®ாண்டவர் கூட உயிà®°்பித்து எழுந்திà®°ுப்பாà®°் என்à®±ு சொன்னால் à®®ிகை ஆகாது ragamalika song was really palliative.you were literally pleading with emotion to the bird and eventually rendered it as a Sandesham through the parrot to the departed soul.” Will you be able to tell bird,Will you be able to tell Will you be able to tell bird, Will you be able to tell..tranquilizing and berceuse tribute to the departed legend.

    I just stumbled upon this blog (after searching for TRS:)).. Very nice tribute to one of my most favourite musicians, Shri Lalgudi Jayaraman.

    Just a small suggestion: You might want to correct the title of the thillana named "Kalyanavasantam" to "Madhuvanti". I guess that was a minor typo.. :)

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
