Veena Vidushi Smt Ranganayaki Rajagopalan is no more.

Post by cienu »

It is with a heavy heart that I convey the news that veteran Veena artist - Vidushi Ranganayaki Rajagopalan passed away this morning. She was one of the greatest exponents of the Karaikudi style of Veena playing. Please find below a link to the Sankarabharanam Varnam played by the Vidushi many decades ago

A truly sad loss. There goes a bastion of traditional vina. She must have been celebrated and recognized more. She had such great gnyanam and pataantara.

What a life, her living with music :(
Touching is the tale of her life, her living for music.
What a student! Wishing him the best in continuing with his guru's music.

So touching, so moving. And such wonderful music, such wonderful sounds. This is the epicenter of sampradaya vina. And it's practically gone. Thanks for sharing.

A competition event in Dallas labelled a specific room for the event after the vidushi and Smt. Geetha Bennett also found her name etched in another room - just so Children / Parents get curious to find out who the vidushis are. Not sure if this was a practice elsewhere already, but I thought that was a great memorial gesture they did!
