TM Krishna: Ragam Punnagavarali

The third piece of Krishna's recital at the FEA-curated The Essential TM Krishna in Concert in Kolkata was a Shyama Shastri composition entitled Kanaka Shaila Viharini in Ragam Punnagavarali.
Krishna was accompanied by Akkarai Subhalakshmi on violin, Arunprakash Krishnan on mridangam and Chandrasekara Sharma on ghatam. Tanpura support was provided by Krishna's student Vignesh Krishnamurthy and Ritwik Pal.
The concert was part of a tour of Kolkata co-produced by First Edition Arts and Experimenter Gallery Kolkata who were celebrating their 10th Anniversary.

Sri TMK is not singing for the audience or for the money paid for the performance. He sings for his own SELF SATISFACTION. Enjoy his body language which is very clear about his involvement, and how he wants to present in the best way possible. Akkarai Mrs Subbulakshmi enjoys playing the Violin for TMK . Sit in a quiet place and listen . You can see Sri Kamakshi in your heart

T.M.Krishna is the most talented musician in the world. He is also an eminent historian in the field of Carnatic music.A big salute to his progressive scientific attitude to eradicate superstitious beliefs in Carnatic music.

[@ramanathansubbarathnam6398]

This song is generally sung as a tail piece (tukkada) in a concert. This is the funniest time I am hearing this in such a detailed manner with raga alaparana, ñeraval etc .So sweet to hear it . Great TMK Sir. Tks for such wonderful soothing piece.

[@ramanathansubbarathnam6398]

Oho. Enna fine raga alapana and neraxal l at "Shyamalambike" in the song simply melts the heart.. The beauty is enhanced by Akkarai and the two percussionists. What a soft playing by the duo. Enjoyed the sg fullyo

T M Krishna is a vocalist as well as "Deputy Suprendent of Police" DSP ,here by requested to kindly expose the hidden treasures of Sadguru in South India, he has huge money and misused by him. Now these days Leaders and so called Sadguru are misusing the Finance for destructive development. People of country here by requested to report it President of India office for next process. Thanks and regards...

[@aparnack]

Would appreciate "Karnataka Sangeetha" word to be used and not "carnatic music"

[@krishnaphanindra1841]

its not karnataka...its karnatik , karna means ear in sanskrit , and not a place

[@aparnack]

@@krishnaphanindra1841 yes, karna is ear. The name Karnataka Sangeetha came because at one point of time apparently the region below vidhya parvata used to be called Karnataka. It is synonymous to southern music. I think karnatik is englishized version of Karnataka

[@krishnaphanindra1841]

oh...never knew that.

[@kommu17]

@@aparnack No. It is called carnatic because this form of music was(is) is the most popular form of music in the kingdom of the nawab of carnatic. Which is largely the same as the madras presidency. It is another matter that the music was also popular in other parts of South India like Travancore and Mysore. So I guess we should start calling it South Indian Classical Music or Dakshina Bharatiya Shastriya Sangeetha.
