Identify Ragam for Mallari

Post by anjali »

I need the ragam for this Mallari. I guess it is set to Adi Talam. Any other information on the vocalist and the composer please let me know.

Yes, it is Adi. It sounds like nAttai to me rather than the usual GambIra nAttai for a mallari. Hope others either confirm or correct this answer.

This one is in Nattai - Adi tala not Gambiranattai. I've played the same piece for a dance performance last year. It is a standard piece in the Kalakshetra repertoire.

This piece was composed by my father late Kalaimamani Swamimalai Rajarathnam Pillai as a pushpanjali (Ragam Natai Thalam Adhi ) which will be followed by a slokam sung in Natai and hamsadwani and will be followed by natesa kauthuvam in hamsadwani. This was the most performed pushpanjali by all his students.
