  1. Svara Sādhana – A Handbook of Voice Care and Practice

    With great joy and gratitude, Svara Sādhana – A Handbook of Voice Care and Practice is presented today — a work shaped by years of teaching, practice, observation and reflection.

    The cultivation of the voice is an important part of every musician’s journey. Yet, voice care and vocal practice are often treated as separate concerns, while in reality they are closely connected. A healthy and well-cultivated voice provides the foundation on which musical expression can grow.

    Svara Sādhana has been conceived as a practical companion for musicians, music students, vocalists and music teachers. It is equally intended for those beginning their musical journey and for experienced musicians who wish to revisit the fundamentals of voice and practice with greater awareness.

    The book looks at vocal practice not merely as a collection of exercises to be repeated, but as a conscious process of listening, observing, understanding and refining.

  2. Kaleeshabi Mahaboob and Mahaboob Subhani are practicing Muslims but learned #Carnatic music where most work is about #Hindu gods and concerts generally connect to religion. They set aside the religion part and mastered the instrument + music and performed in 100s of temples, etc.

  3. Excellence in musical lyrics and composition, singing, acting, and all around good vibes. All in just this one 2¾-minute video.

    It's in #Kannada but any true fan/connoisseur of #music from any background will enjoy it.

  4. This Saturday I was fortunate to attend a live #Carnatic #classical music concert by renowned sisters Ranjani and Gayatri in #Udupi #India.

    Great vocals accompanied by excellent violin, mrudangam, and ghatam. Two hours of heavenly #music. 🎶

    They're on YT: youtube.com/@ranjanigayatri?si

  6. Somewhat random #Music appreciation toot for the prodigy and genius that was U. Srinivas.
    Sadly he passed too young
    I was fortunate to have seen and hear him play a few times

    Stumbled across this short from when he was a kid, the energy, exuberance and joy in this is palpable

  10. I'm a big fan of #Carnatic music - once you've trained your ear to appreciate the micro-tones it is sublime.
    I'm also a midwest raised kid and prog rock and heavy metal is my jam. So when you mix it - you get Agam -youtu.be/oESni03J8h8?feature=s

    Notes of M.S. Subhalakshmi and Opeth - damn bro! The vocals are extremely impressive as well as the arrangement. You're not disrespecting carnatic music and still keeping to a faithful vocalization but with some extra oomph.

  11. And one more sample. Even though it is short, just watch the performer's hands.

    We had a great time - and even encountered a few people we met last year.

    Note: this thread is a cleaned-up repost of a thread that was made a bit poorly on a phone.

  12. Ragamala! An all-night festival of Hindustani and Carnatic Indian classical music held at the Chicago Cultural Center. We only stayed for one session but we got to see Gaurav Mazumdar on sitar and Amit Kavthekar on tabla. They were students of the great Ravi Shankar and Zakir Husain respectively.

    2. "gajawadana beduwe" by K.J. Yesudas

    youtube.com/watch?v=pRzJwhnpKA

    "gajawadana" conjugates the words gaja (गज elephant) and wadana (वदन face) to simply mean "elephant face".

    "beduwe" (ಬೇಡುವೆ) is a Kannada word to mean "I plead."

    Together, "gajawadana beduwe" means "I plead/appeal to the one with elephant face".

    To end, here are Carnatic renderings of two popular songs on Ganesha:

    1. "lambodara lakumikara" by S. Janaki
    (the first song a student of Carnatic music learns)

    youtube.com/watch?v=HqZQdryENo

    "lambodara" combines lamba (लम्ब) and udara (उदर) to mean "large belly".

    "lakumikara" conjugates "lakumi" a Kannada aberration of Sanskrit "lakshmi" (लक्ष्मी wealth in this context) and "kara" (कर creator).

  15. Also on my YT channel, a modest #SouthAsia playlist with 40+ #MusicVideos featuring #DesiPop and some more traditional songs including #Carnatic pieces. Tunes from the Berklee Indian Ensemble, Coke Studios, from A.R. Rahman and a variety of pandits. Ever heard Delhi Slide Guitar? Yeah, there’s some of that too. #India #Pakistani #Music #MusicVideo #SouthAsian youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0i

  16. This video of a father and son interpreting a visual grid in Carnathi rhythm syllables is both very sweet and very cool: instagram.com/reel/CxGKTvSAND-

    My insatiable hunger for inspiration from cultures around the world led me to the sounds and art of the Indian state of #Karnataka. Powerful and exciting stuff. The movie #Kantara on #Netflix includes a lot of traditional culture from that region.

  19. I just got an event notice on Facebook for a #Carnatic #IndianClassicalMusic concert here in #Aarhus in February, and already the New Year is looking up :-). ICM concerts are extremely rare here and the last Carnatic concert was cancelled because of visa issues, so fingers crossed!
