A lilting well-loved Swarajathi now made fun for kids!
“Rara venu gopa bala” these Telugu lyrics implore Lord Krishna, “Please come to my lord Venugopala”. Believed to be composed by Patnam Subrahmanya Ayyar, this popular Swarajathi with its pleasing melody, in Carnatic raga Bilahari and set to Adi Talam, is one of the early compositions that kids learn when they start Carnatic music lessons. A new arrangement of this happy-sounding piece makes it contemporary, peppy, and a lot of fun for kids!
Combining ideas from pop and kids’ music, team Mahesh Raghvan, Alapana Bagirath, Arjun Ravi Shankar, KDB Madhavi, Swaminath Jayaraman, and Vishnu Priyaa match lively vocals, beats of the Ghatam with musical notes of the Flute, Veena, and Geoshred, accentuated at places in the song that kids will find new and interesting.

This is masterpiece. All of you are equally talented and wonderful Mahesh Raghavan to combine all the talents in this song and reproducing this beautiful song without spoiling the essence of Bilhari and rendering it in a more pleasant way. On repeat mode. In this we can understand how sweet is the Telugu language. I am not a Telugu but still love the language because it's the most sweetest language and so pleasing to hear.

Personally I think the beauty of a jathiswaram or swarapallavi lies in singing the lyrics along with the swaras! Nevertheless melodious as always!! ♥💚

[@linuxramu]

Please note that this is not jathiswaram or swarapallavi. This is SwaraJathi. There is a difference between swarajathi and jathiswaram (swara pallavi). Jathi swaram won't have sahithyam but just swaras
