Rangapura Vihara – Ranjani & Gayathri

Hi all,

.

I LOVE the raga Brindavana Saranga, and this song especially. Moreover, I’m a big fan of Ranjani and Gayathri. Addicted to this song for the last few days :) Such an AWESOME version of it!!

.

Some interesting points to note:

- the resonance of the singers’ voice. It amazes me EVERY time I hear the song!

- the percussions. At no point do they dominate. Rather, they keep rhythm and emphasise appropriate parts of the song, and let the focus remain on the singing, making the song much more beautiful. GREAT playing! The mridangist is Arun Prakash; don’t know about the ghatam player :(

- The improvisations. They are trained in both carnatic as well as hindustani, and their improvisations are a bit different and absolutely fantastic!

Another FANTASTIC Brindavanasaranga is a Viruttam and then Kaliyuga Varadhan, by Sowmya. I like her singing also a lot, and the violinist, Embar S. Kannan, is just out of the world :)
