Shri Ramana Vibho - Arabhi - Swati Tirunal

[natakapriya]

Heard Trichur Ramachandran sing this at Cleveland this year and fell in love with it. Does anyone have the lyrics?

Dr M. Balamuralikrishna popularised this kriti. Did he also tune it? He has another composition of his own in Arabhi with the same tune (Sri sakala ganAdhipa pAlayamAm)

Lyrics in english script from Sri Lakshman's compositions CD

Thank you! Yes, I had heard Shri Sakala Ganadipa before and made the tune connection, but I wasn't sure why. Thanks for that information!

[hariharan]

can some one please explain what "cempaT tala.

[Lakshman]

In T.K.Govinda Rao's book the tALA stated is Adi.

[hariharan]

Thank you Sri. Lakshmanji.

[Pratyaksham Bala]

can some one please explain what "cempaT tala.

It seems cempaTa tala (eight beat cycle) is used mainly in Kathakali.

Check page 59 & page 60 of this:-

And page 97 of this:-

[Pratyaksham Bala]

A good number of songs by Iraiyimman Thampi are in CempaTa Tala as shown in this list.
