TM Krishna: Ragam Mukhari

TM Krishna's third piece at the FEA-curated KARNATIC MODERN concert was in Ragam Mukhari. It included a fabulous solo segment featuring violinist Akkarai Subhalakshmi. This was followed by an exquisite padam composed by the great Telugu poet and composer Kshetrayya.

[@shankarbala130]

Mukhari is raagam for expressing sorrow. Violinist along with raaga aalapana her expression on her face resembles sorrow. Such an involvement both music and raaga

[@rajeevbr7860]

Violinist in this video took me to a divine world, Very heart melting raaga,

[@azfaraziz743]

She provides him with the best possible accompaniment I have seen so far. Congratulations to TM Krishna and Akkarai Subhalakshmi.

[@anulakshman2025]

Sir rk shriram kumar is the best accompliment for tmk but akkarai subbulakshmi too is excellent

[@nileshkalamkar2203]

agree sir

[@vijayamurthy8595]

What a wonderful painting by vocal chords backed by the jnanam of the padam kasiki transporting the listener to yester years of Veena Dhanammal. Thank you Krishna for the fulfilling treat

[@rmuralig8421]

Soulful singing.

[@dr.shruthipraveen8461]

Wonderful rendition. Moreover watching Akkarai Subba Lakshmi playing the violin is a feast to the eyes and souls.

[@yaminighormadeghormade6274]

My god ....haunting performance couldn't get my head out of it for so many days .long live krishna ...transcendental music.

[@sureshgr9419]

One of the versatile classical singers of modern era. God bless. Long Live TMK

[@jayashankaran8230]

TMK executes Mukhari so well that the said Raagam takes pride that the connoisseur Krishna is decorating it in stages through pauses and that too beautifully. முகாரி அது பிறந்த பயனை அடைந்தது என்றே கூறலாம்.

[@ramanathansubbarathnam6398]

Splendid Mukhari by both TMK and Akkarai Subbalakshmi. This ragam is pleasing to hear only if sung like this.

[@pkmpillai6938]

These days, TMK bares his soul with the nuances of his fabulous slow music. Every classical Indian dancer has a lot to learn from his TOTAL involvement in his music.Akkarai provides the most appropriate and sensitive accompaniment.

[@karthikvenkatesh9778]

P K M Pillai sir, you verbalised what I felt so crisply. He gives it his all.

[@saveri_sumadyuti]

The alapana just transports us to another world, so beautiful!

[@vijayvaidehi]

Beautiful and charming bows from Akkarai Subhalakshmi....Today's violinists have to learn to play like her...

[@aparnack]

Yes, I feel this piece has come out well mainly due to violin

[@alfredvijayan]

🌹 Lovely

[@rajkram]

kudos to Smt.Akkarai Subhalakshmi.

[@enrp2005]

Intoxicating... Mesmerising Mukhari....TMK my fav. Well done Smt.Akkarai.

[@ಕನ್ನಡಿಗ-ಪ6ಙ]

akkai subhalakshmi's expression was awesome..... good combination of vocal and violin too....

[@aparnnavp2531]

Nobody does raag vistar like him 💜

[@jayamathur7741]

The beauty of Raga is heart touching.

[@hkoushik]

I am spellbound. Although I do not understand the language, but true emotion of the sound touched the soul.

[@jaohnnadarajah1735]

Dear Krishna very beautiful mukhari it’s splendid and also sister your playing violin really great god bless you all

[@umeshgeeta1]

Wow, very nice. TMK is very expressive too, that is positive for a successful performance. You see, when Kishori Amonkar dies in your universe; you ought to take a pause in life. Where would you find anything which can fill that gap? I have no qualifications to say whether TMK or others fill the void left behind by Kishori A. All that I know is when I see TMK and the young crew; our traditions in Hindustani and Karnatanki Music may not be all that brittle. These young people are the ones who will give us that peace, bliss and joy going forward. Thank you TMK and Team. Please keep up (and thanks for sharing with the wider global audience).

[@rahalkaraditya]

Umesh Patil sir well said. exactly same thought struck my mind!!

[@KRNSwamy]

I agree.fully. janaki swamy

[@varadarajanr4960]

Magnificent alapana of ragam Mukhari with inventive touches commensurate with judicious voice modulation .TMK's style is unique. Akkarai's retakes are superb.

[@sureshmarar814]

The quality of Both vocal and video is amazing. Also good support by Akkarai Subbu.

[@arunkrishna3561]

straight to heart...

[@selvasivagurunathanmadasam4685]

@12:55 ❤

[@narayanagaula]

As a small correction, this particular padam is not a composition of Kshetrayya, but rather Muddu Natesa. Kshetrayya's mudra "muvvagopala" is missing, whereas Muddu Natesa's mudra appears prominently at 28:05.

[@kommu17]

How do you know so much? You are clearly not Indian. I am intrigued.

[@mohancharlu9153]

❤️

[@teepee431]

Thanks a lot. Very useful to me, a Vedic student.

[@ganesanbala7283]

I agree 100 percent, Anu Lakshman. The Bhavas are different. Also, no raga relies entirely on Swaras and they serve only as guides and not as a strait jacket for the Manodharma dominated music.

[@kumarmouli1349]

Not even God satisfy all. Ability, if achieved, to hear without likes and dislikes,its and buts or expectations may enable to extract the essence available

[@VEMULAWADASANGEETHAM]

Awesome rendition. Reality is Mrudangist is frustrated, he is unable to play for such a slow rendition😊

[@adityajois2019]

Please rename the video as RAAGA/RAAGAM Mukhari. Calling it Raag gives the wrong idea since it is a different form in Hindustani Classical Music. I have never in my life heard such a slow rendition of any carnatic composition. I consider myself blessed to be listening to this.

[@KRNSwamy]

This is a Kshtragyar Paam. The nature of Padam is to sing very slowly. Padam are generally sung by Brinda and Mukta. But this singing by T.M.Krishna beats then hollow.! A divine rendition.....by janaki swamy

[@anulakshman2025]

Its muddu natesa pillai

[@shailendra7962]

Great great

[@rprajanayahem3335]

'WONDERFUL' Mukhari

[@raveindran]

Akkarai Subhalakshmi has silken threads in her violin..spectacular..Up there with Lalgudi Jayaraman..possibly better...!!! Can we call her Dr. Akkarai Subhalakshmi ..YESSS...that is it

[@chitrajagannathan8113]

Superb alapana of Mukhari

[@anulakshman2025]

Pls dont compare the calibre of 2 musician that too of two entirely schools Each one is great in their own ways Lalgudi Jayaraman is a nadayogi and the farher of the carnatic violin AkkArai subbulakshmi is too an upcoming proficient violinist with the finesse which is beyond praise

[@thejusdutt1]

@First edition arts, could you please let me know which are cameras and recording devices that are used?

[@venkateshvenki1191]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ananthakrishnap5507]

An excellent rendition! However this padam is not a composition of Kshetrayya. It is a composition of Muddu Natesa. His mudra comes ather prominently in the charanam. Please correct the description! Kshetrayya's padams in Mukhari are many, like Akkaraleni Kapuramaye. This is not Kshetrayya's.

[@world_musician]

Mukhari is similar to Kafi in Hindustani music?

[@bhargavram3480]

No equivalent of mukhari exists in hindustani

[@bhargavram3480]

TBQH i'd discourage you from seeing it in terms of equivalents. For example, yaman raga of hindustani is considered equivalent to kalyani of carnatic but the 'feel' of the two melodies is totally different.

[@pdshukla]

is it basant mukhari? combination of bhairav and bhairavi?

[@carnaticfan]

agree with you. mukhari is very ancient and phrase oriented. only can master if you know lots of composition in it .

[@anulakshman2025]

Its just mukhari Mukhari and bhairavi are allied ragas but their phrasalogy and raga lakshana scope are completely different

[@konalisa123]

Bhairavi, Husieni, Mukhari....There are a lot of similarities.... I do not know much music, but people can correct me, if I am wrong.... Mukhaari is considered as a SHOKA RAAGA, but it is not so....

[@srivatsansridhar64]

All of them are similar ragas with some differences. Yes generally Mukhari is considered to be the raag for crying, however it can be presented without that emotion also

[@ganesanbala7283]

konalisa123 Mukhari and Bhairavi may sound very similar, particularly in Avarohanam, but they are very different in Arohanam. Mukhari's notes in Arohanam are: Sa ri ma pa da ni da sa while Bhairavi has notes, sa ga ri ga ma pa da ni sa. Please note, both ragas use both Dhaivatams, in the Arohanam Chatusruti Dhaivatam and in Avarohanam Suddha Dhaivatam.

[@shreyasmuralidharan605]

There is a lec dem in which tmk explains the differences on KZbin

[@anulakshman2025]

@@ganesanbala7283 sir these two ragas are beyond arohona and avarohana The raga lakshna of mukhari and the gamakas are completely different compared to a heavy kapita gamakas of bhairavi

[@KRNSwamy]

Mukhari is at its best by TMK. Akkarai Subbulakshmi is also no less.....janakiswamy.

This genius and crack fellow TMK should be devoted to karnatic music only and should not sell his talent to Christianity and Muslims for moneys sake. If he doesn't correct himself he will become unpopular and real karnatic music lovers will hate and i avoid him. I love his talent and expertise but don't support his other activities. God bless him with the correct way

Sangeetha gnaanam bhakti vinaa. No bhakti or submission to God, it is not sangeetha katcheri

[@ramanswaminathan6416]

Worst mukhari ever heard. TMK is a crook and thinks too much .How people praise and talorate him.Hear Musiri ,semmangudi, Nedunuri,voleti ,MDR ,KVN,MS, DKP, DKJ, many others this Raga. Beatiful raga is suffering under him .and his nice voice too is tortured. May God bless him to leave ego and get good wisdom so that he can do something to music

[@madhavanmadhavan2705]

Not at all good. One of the worst rendering of Mukhari ever heard. I am wondering how people just praise someone even when they perform sub standard. Please type in Mukhari in youtube and listen to the many mukharis sung so well. Akkarai should stop accompanying this sub standard concerts.
