He is not an intruder. He is one of the foremost Kanjira artist Sri K V Gopalakrishnan. The positioning of the artist is not appropriate. Usually he sits in such a way that the membrane of the Kanjira is visible to the audience.
I do, hopefully the recording came out as well as this one. I actually haven’t gone back over it yet but I’ve listened to this one sooo many times. Will split the song up into 3 parts and will try to get it all up this weekend.
Maybe you can answer this, whenever there is a long non percussion instrument only section (like an alap in Hindustani music), then a section with everyone, followed by a Thani, those are called Ragam Thanam Pallavi right? Was wanting to check on that before posting for labeling purposes.
Possibly. Generally, there are at least 2 long alapana in a regular length concert. If there is an RTP, it would be another. There is usually a “main” item (which contains the mridangam solo) which is preceded by a lengthy alapana. Then there could be a “sub main” which may have a shorter alapana. An RTP May also have a mridangam solo, but generally shorter than the main one. It can be confusing if one is not versed in the repertoire. You can identify the RTP by the tanam section, which is pulsed (but unmetered) alapana-like improvisation.
Someone must ensure that mannerless people are forbidden from such concerts who distract showing unwarranted prowess - Yes I am mentioning the intruder who poses with his tALam in shadow in the front row.
I did the same at a later concert so I should also be banned. I loved that the hand is there in the video so video listeners to whom this style is foreign can also follow.
@@shrooman777 Percussion will make a musically talented person to make beats using rhythm anywhere..table top..wall..Thigh..or even the back or shoulder of friend sitting next. Just watch any CHENDA MELAM ( any of the formats) and one can see THOUSANDS of viewers who enjoy, beat their hands in the air, synchronizing with the CHENDA BEATS. The drummers and viewers are not random street walkers but highly educated professionals in other fields.They learn..practice and perform as part of their BHAKTHI.
