Ahir Bhairav - Chakravakam Jugalbandi

A jugalbandi of Hindustani raga Ahir Bhairav and Carnatic raga Chakravakam, the poignant tones of both styles convey beseeching devotion, separation, dejection.
This is part of a series of three Carnatic-Hindustani jugalbandi performances. “Dark clouds please bring down rains so heavy the Yamuna River gets flooded and Lord Krishna is unable to go away leaving his devotees feeling bereft”. The rendition in Hindustani raga Ahir Bhairav and Carnatic raga Chakravakam, set to Drut Teental, alternates between Hindi lyrics “Barso Meha Re Ghanghor” and its Kannada translation “Maleraya Baro Krupe Toro”.
This is a composition of the Late Prof. Dr. Veena Vishwaroop; the improvisations are done by vocalists Manas Vishwaroop, Hindustani, and Udaya Kiran, Carnatic, with Bol-Aalap, Bol-Baant, Laykari, Boltaan, Sargam and Taan. Translation into Kannada, of the original Hindi lyrics, was done extempore by Udaya Kiran. Percussion support on the Mridangam is by Swaminath Jayaraman and Anirudh Sharma on the Tabla, with Kartik Raman providing the base note on the Tanpura.

Chakrawak and Ahir Bhairav blends in such a manner that we forget where which ends and which starts , only Tabla and Mrudungam tells us. This is greatness of all artists. Salute to all of you.

[@TheCoolkarthik]

It is CHAKRAVAKAM.

[@AnshumanVora]

Wouldn't a slightly higher pitch throughout have helped? Isn't that one of the unique characteristics of this Raga?

[@bodhi9869]

nice voice ragam thanam pallavi

[@nav_2709]

This is not RTP

[@GururajBN]

Uploaded today! As latest as today’s news. Very pleasing performance. Pardon me, to my ears, it seems that chakravaka is also being sung Hindustani style, not in Karnataka style.

[@nihaal4763]

Gururaj BN I agree. I too felt. Indeed I was searching among the comments that anyone else have written this comment

[@nihaal4763]

Gururaj BN Chakravakam that I study is lil more denser than this TBH

[@udayakirank.t.5103]

Please observe the opening phrases.

Expecting more Kannada plz

[@mallykartha9522]

Very good rendition. But Chakravagam ? Where ? Didn’t hear it

[@udayakirank.t.5103]

Mally Kartha , the piece was sung so as to complement the Hindustani piece.. the lyrics demands touch of Hindustani rather than deep gamakas.

[@drsoumyabratachakrabarty7636]

It's like a duet between two Hindustani style artists. Karnataki vocal style is missing, the Karnataki artist's gamaka is just like that of Hindustani style.

[@drsoumyabratachakrabarty7636]

@@udayakirank.t.5103 The duet has been very good rendering the raga mood with nice melodious phrases, only Karnatki style should have been emphasized a little bit more as our ears are accustomed to hear the distinctive features of both the styles.

[@Life_of_Nika]

upload more dance vdoz plzzz

[@dilipssoul-journeyintocarn5213]

The alaap was distinct..pallavi blended i thought..

[@sridharrajagopal.2417]

good rendering. mridangam is a major let down......

[@nav_2709]

How so?
