There is no Big Raaga Or Small Raaga. There are only Big Musicians and Small Musicians. Here’s a perfect example of that. Sabbash great team here.

Asuran Abhishekan, Peerless Behag. This Behag cured me of all Corona Blues.

[@chiapet9570]

Behag ragam is born for Abishek.

Awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 பாடகரின் பாடலை ரசிப்பவரின் உச்சு கொட்டலும் சிரிப்பும் இல்லாமல் இருந்து இருந்தால் நாங்களும் இன்னும் நன்றாக ரசித்திருக்க இயலும்... மற்றபடி அபிஷேக்கின் ஆலபனைக்கு என்றுமே ஈடில்லை👍👍👍

[@srirampdm]

20 minutes of pure Behag. This is bliss.

[@srinivasgullapalli4240]

Awesome, fantastic, marvelous, beautiful, elegant, soothing, words are not enough. Great. God bless you.

[@srinivass9697]

No words to describe the creativity of Abhishek Raghu Ram.Beautyfull presentation of Behag.God bless you and accompanying artists.

[@palasserinarayanan]

How many times I came back here to listen to this behag?

[@priyaganesh1032]

Un assuming behag . Simply bowled over by this stupendous execution of the raga .

[@sd9125]

I have a request to all rasikas. Please don’t make out loud sounds during concert. I understand you might get tempted but remember everyone feels the same thrill and excitement as you do. But this ruins the beauty of flow if you make it loud. Same goes with tala - beating you lap or clapping along with artist. Please don’t do it. This is me listening to this masterpiece for 8th time and those audience who make “ayyayyo”, “chchcho” still gets on my nerve. If it’s not being said, this may carry out like a trend. Hope everyone understands it. pranaamam.

[@parashararamesh4252]

Couldn't have put it better.

[@TheShreyas56]

For me the atmosphere including the tchu tchu etc. Actually enhances the experience for me. I along with the audience experience this music. Just my opinion.

[@fireStorm070]

Finally someone is talking about it.... I hate such rasikas ❤😂

[@raghul2k]

What a fantastic Behag. A great coming together of a stupendous voice culture and unbounded creativity in this alapana. This is one of those rare moments when the voice lends itself to the artists' creativity and the creativity takes the voice to unchartered territory. Felt like listening to some of the old Bhimsen Joshi taans in Raag Puriya. If I were the violonist, I would refuse to play Behag immediately after, because it makes no sense to do so. Just observe silence for a couple of minutes to breathe in and digest all the behag filling that space. I hope there was some silence after this storm.

[@shobanaravichandran7953]

Undescribable singing 🙏🙏 pure bliss.....

[@rangarajann7853]

Marvellous is very mild adjective to describe this rendition ! What an amazing Urruttal and control over the swaras !! God bless you !

[@tavijagan]

[@mnshesh]

Where can we get the full concerts ? I feel a great sense of loss when it is a piecemeal.

[@railvidz]

No doubt his genius is close to Madurai TNS

[@BMerker]

An amazing performance. As a Swedish fan of Carnatic classical music in all its forms, I am puzzled by the anomalous note Abhishek Raghuram hits at 17:11 into the video. It elicits an audience reaction (some laughter), and I wonder if a really knowledgeable person can help me understand what happened there. Did the artist happen to hit an "enemy note" from the point of view of the Behag scale, or what happened there? I will check back here from time to time for any replies. Thank you.

[@moulirc]

I think it is innovative raga swara alapana of "Ni Gaaaa" ..generally not heard but quite pleasing isn't it?

[@youisfun]

@@moulirc I think it is Ni-Ma (prathi madhyamam/raised 4th) that is rare, and evocative of a raga like Kalyani, and yet pleasing and within the gamut of Raga Behag.

[@BMerker]

@@moulirc Thank you so much, much appreciated!

[@BMerker]

@@youisfun And again, thank you very much, I appreciate the help!

[@AnanthNat]

It's well within Behag and the way he unleashed that phrase it came as a hard hitting surprise. The laughter heard is not a derisive one but borne out of spontaneous expression of joy.

[@sumajyothish624]

Vow .. Pure bliss

[@sreeharimeledam1152]

what a structuring of phrases🥰

[@AnanthNat]

Maarubehag seen in many sangathis. Experts, I'm not one, correct me if I'm wrong. PS: Maarubehag is as beautiful if not more than Behag, so...
