Best of Carnatic Flute it. Is universally accepted a feast to enjoy thank god I hAve good ears to enjoy despite my age

Thanks for your nice comments. I too feel the same way. “Manian”

Absolutely! Co-artist would be even better though it sounds so bland. They are not just "helping" the main artist, but bringing their own artistry and imagination to the stage and breathing more life into a concert! Many of us pick and choose our concert listening schedule in the Chennai Music Season by looking at the co-artists mainly (main artists are decided first, of course) - if it is Akkarai or Varadarajan or Ananthakrishnan on violin, or Patri or Sivaraman sir or Sankaran sir, those concerts are bookmarked first! (Used to be MSG / Lalgudi / TNK and Ramabhadran / Karaikudi Mani, those were the days!!!)

This attitude is a curse of Karnatic music. This does'nt stop with publishing names but almost everything.

hi very good

Excellent performance.

Beautiful Kamboji.. what a nidanam, perfection. Well done Shashank.

Hi just search kambhoji and you'll get many records. For example, artists like Sanjay, TM Krishna, Ranjani Gayatri have a lot of records on RU-vid. Once you get the hang of it you can spot and relate to the core phraseology of the raga. Or atleast that's what I did to most ragas. Just search something like 'Sanjay kambhoji' or something like that

Kamboji is a core Carnatic Raga. Before learning Ragas like Kamboji, Todi, Bhairavi, Dhanyasi and so on, you must learn other Ragas which have simpler Gamaka structures (Nuances or connection between two notes). Best to learn it vocally first from a good vocal Guru / school of thought and then attempt to play it on an instrument. Practice only under the guidance of a Guru and after you have the basic knowledge of the Raga, you should listen to interpretations of that Raga by other musicians as well.

I completely defer to S. Subramanyan. I believe what he didn't write was: you start when you are about 2-3 years old and devote your life to it if you really want to master your instrument and the music.

Absolutely agree. Patri's mrdangam should sound much better than what has been projected.

Yes. but it seems Patri tried something new in his mridanga...not a sound issue...

Sruti is C sharp or 1 1/2 kattai.
