Hi all
I heard this divine alapanai for 25 min followed by Gathi enrum neeye amma by MLV. For the death of me I could not ID the raga or the composer. Please help.

Just to confirm it is the same kRti, are the lyrics the following? If so, it is in NaTabhairavi. No idea about the composer.

I just came across a rendering of this composition here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=435703574201903 at the 1 hour mark. The singer mentions the composer as a certain "Tepa"? Mahadevan. Any details on the composer?

It is Tafe Mahadevan. You can find a few details here:

I think TAFE stands for Tractors And Farm Equipment.
