Bhagyalakshmi M Krishna eloquently talks about her journey as a morching player, and the lack of women morching players in the world of Carnatic music.
I play the Vietnamese mouth harp and didn't know that it also existed in classical music from South India. So elated to find a woman do it so welllll!!!! Big respect and thank you for paving the path Ma'am.
Mouth harps exist in so many places around the world! Places such as Hungary, Siberia, Germany, India, even the U.S.A. all use mouth harps in some traditional music. It's one of the oldest instruments, and is widespread across pretty much the whole world. Not to mention mouth harps have an amazing sound!
We mend our head infront of you and your skill in playing morching instrument.May God bless you and give long life.Kindly give this skill to younger genaration to protect and save our rich heratage and culture.
Really nothing like this instrument. In my childhood a gentleman used to play this instrument in our home. He was a tenant in our ancestral home in Malleshwaram. Really out of curiosity I just happened to listen the chimes tonight. Hat's off to you for your talent and my best wishes to you in having a interest to propagate this rare musical instrument's importance. All the best 🤝🙏
Thank you very much. It is good that you are interested in teaching more ladies and the art should get more practitioners. Attraction towards peforming arts, music, acting etc. is some sort of pre-ordained destiny. Bhimsen Joshi left his family and studies and stayed with his guru to learn hindustani music. Sometimes you will succeed, and many times you will end up not so successful.
Bhayalakshmi krishnan madam ,i am your fan. Your way of playing morsing is something special, because you got sangeetha gyanam as heritage. God has given to you .Anthareeku vanthanmu.sowbhagyavathi bava.
We hear that this Kalakar is from the Viswa(karma)brahmin community from Nagartharpet, Bangalore. Whatever may be the caste, she plays Morching in an excellent manner. We have to appreciate it. But the irony is that no ladies are coming forward to learn this rare instrument which accompanies the Carnatic musicians. Hats off to her.
