GOURIMANOHARI|Classical and Film songs by Raaga Sparks

Every song that you hear in any language has a basic element - THE RAGA. Every song is based on a RAGA. We take one Raga in each episode and discuss the nuances of how it has been handled in both the Carnatic and Cinema world.
GOuRIMANOHARI is the 23rd Melakarta rāgam in the 72 melakarta rāgam system of Carnatic music. This Ragam, as per Muthuswami Dikshitar school of music is called Gourivelāvaḻi.
The Western equivalent is the melodic minor scale.
It is a sampurna rāgam - a rāgam that has all seven swaras (notes).

When u say kai kuuppi sir please fold your hands when u welcome. Thsnk you sir

[@venkataramaniramanathan4220]

Useful and a good learning programmer. Kudos to the entire team. Humble suggestion before singing filmy songs in that raga authentication of that ragam if the major portion is there it is OK. Especially Sakalavallavanae from PKS resembles sarasangi than Gowrimanohari what it was said. Validation may add quality to the program. If i am wrong you may correct pl.

[@srikanth2427]

lovely program guys,congratulations, Preeti, u have a magical lilt in your voice( sound a tad like Sadhana Sargamji)

[@sutharshansupiramaniam2659]
