- #darbarfestival | ‘Ragamalika’ translates to ‘garland of ragas’. Let South India’s finest violin brothers lead you through a variety of moods, sampling many different musical colours.
Learn more about the music:
Ganesh & Kumaresh Rajagopalan are Carnatic music’s foremost violin brothers, having performed together for over four decades. Their insurance broker father was also a talented violinist, and started teaching them at the ages of three and two respectively. They received acclaim as prodigies, and performed over 100 times before Kumaresh (the younger) had turned ten. By their early teens they were playing to acclaim at major festivals, with a maturity of style that belied their years. All India Radio even lowered their minimum age to become a highly graded artist in response.
They play classical music with colourful modern flourishes, and visit out-and-out fusion territory too, working with jazz and electronic musicians. An open-minded style is no surprise - the Uttar Pradesh family home they grew up in often played host to concerts from visiting musicians from both the North and South. Carnatic legends such as MS Gopalakrishnan hail them as the best violinists of their generation, and they continue to experiment today.
Ragamalika, literally meaning ‘garland of ragas’, refers to a musical form which blends different ragas into one piece. Popular in Carnatic music for centuries, it allows for more freedom and more concise emotional contrasts than traditional raga structures. Musicians seek to avoid abrupt jumps in mood or scale, but the points of change should still be apparent. Similarly, a ‘talamalika’ is a blend of different rhythm cycles into one composition. The two can be combined into a ‘ragatalamalika’.
The 18th century composer Ramaswami Dikshitar (father of Muthuswami) is often considered to be the king of these mixed forms, using hundreds of them over his lifetime. He even wrote a vast Telugu composition known as Ashtottara Shata which blends 108 ragas and 108 talas - one combination for each line, and one line for each name of Devi, the supreme goddess. Unfortunately only part of the work survives today.
Recorded at Darbar on 4 Apr 2009, at London’s Southbank Centre
-Ganesh Rajagopalan (violin)
-Kumaresh Rajagopalan (violin)

If a few brief minutes of Ganesh & Kumaresh aren’t enough…watch their full 50-minute performance of Raag Abheri/Bhimpalasi in pristine HD on the Darbar Player, along with dozens of other captivating concerts: www.darbarplayer.com/videos/carnatic-violin-ganesh-kumaresh
We'd like to upload everything for free - but filming, editing, and hosting cost money, and we’re a small not-for-profit organisation. Signing up to the Darbar Player costs about the same as a couple of coffees a month ($5), which we hope is an excellent price for such a wealth of unique music.
Thank you for this!
Is that the full version of their 2009 performance as posted above?
@@bluewhalie635 Yeah - same performance as this is from ^
That's the best concert I've heard so far by this duo..Cant believe you had such great quality content in 2009 be it CrystalAudio and Stunning Video quality.
Is this concert where the darbar intro comes from?
Abheri, Saveri, Begada, Ranjani, Kaanada, Mohanam, Sivaranjani, Amritavarshini, Vasantha, Kaapi, Hamsanandi, Hindolam, Revathi and back to Abheri...
kaapi ......and mohanam and kaanada then back to abheri are my fav.......
Can you tell which raga is that one starting at 4:04 ???? Loved that.
@@luciferking5933 Hamsanandi Ragham
@@luciferking5933 it's Hamsanandhi starting at 4:04.
Is it sivaranjani or Neelamony?
came here after seeing the video that twoset reviewed "the vioin" player" and saw the comments on it about Carnatic violin,,, yes, this is so much different than western style violin~~~ very curious, i never knew that this style of violin existed!
You will really enjoy this and please give the link to two sets video I totally missed🙁
Edit: i saw it
@@abhinav_iyengar twosetters are quite toxic to other cultures and ways of interpretation so I don't look their way nowadays
@@qkbarbland4332 finally someone said it, they are more than toxic. Yehudi Menuhin himself had a great deal of respect to Hindustani and Carnatic hence used to come to india every year to learn. Two set are average at best
What a talent and how beautifully and melodiously playing raga mallika. Saraswathi is just flowing thro them
+devi Thank you for your comment, this was an amazing concert. Darbar Festival always try and present the very best Indian classical music to our audiences, I am sure that will also enjoy listening to: th-cam.com/video/4yv4ea1pFp4/w-d-xo.html,

Mind blowing ragamalika, just tears of joy fed into my eyes, and I am getting sleep. South indian ragas can create mass hysteria.
Kindly shall i know how to see this full concert of Shri Ganesh &kumaresh
Am I the only one getting goosebumps??
sreeni p nope...:) I guess everyone who listens to it
You are not alone
These guys are amazingly talented. The control they have on the instrument and the imagination on expressing each raga is just fantastic. There are no words to talk about Patri as he always excels everyone in the stage. Excellent one.
Because of these brothers I am interested in listening violn music

One of the best compositions ever ❤
i like it when you can see that theyre having fun on stage...thats what its all about!
Love how sharp the higher frequencies in the Mridangam sound in the title song.
Abheri at its finest!
Mridangam by Sir Patri Satish kumar is best amazing tune, great jugalbandi
Unbelievable expertise on the part of the violin players. Thanks to the accompanying artists. Great.
Darbar Festival and its productions are jewels in the crown of Indian Classical music.
I love how they are playing with the tunes💖💖
What is really nice about this is not just the music, but the fact that they are enjoying playing it.
May I ask: How is the changing of raags called? Sounds like they both play different one's
would like to see something of that scale in Delhi.
Super.Where can I get full video
Is there a Indian Rupee subscription link ?
Amazing brothers with full of gods blessings
If this Is a composition..can somebody tell from where can I learn this
Hi Akhi Vasishtaa, Thank you for your message, I am so sorry I do not know this information. I wonder if someone reading these comments can help us.
This is an improvisation done by the brothers called "kalpana swarams" which is done here in "ragamalika" meaning multiple ragams.
Amazing brilliance

Whats the name of this raga ?
Started getting really interested in Indian music about 2 months ago. How much of dummy does it make me that I can't really tell Carnatic from Hindustani music apart other than the instrumentation...
weinhold0204 But, that's fine...both are similar...You can differentiate between them if you learn Atleast one of them....😃
Not at all. 2 months is a very short period. Don't focus on understanding the differences. I would suggest just enjoy the music - both Hindustani and Carnatic. You'll start understanding with time :)

Can someone list down the raagas in the raagamalika?
Here are the ones I was able to identify (in order of appearance): Abheri, Saveri, Begadai, either Ranjani or Shivaranjani (not sure), Kanada, Mohanam, shivaranjani (??), ..., Amrithavarshini, Kapi, ..., Revathi.
But PLEASE get this vetted (and completed) by someone else.
The Ragam after amritavarshini is Vasantha ,before kapi and and the one before Revathi is hindolam
4 th is Ranjani
The correct order is:
Abheri
Saveri
Begada
Ranjani
Kaanada
Mohanam
Shivaranjani
Amruthavarshini
Vasantha
Kapi
Hamsanandi
Hindolam
Revathi
Abheri
What to say...Festive feast.Namasthe.
Where can I find the music that plays in the first seconds? Is that just something that Durbar Festival uses or is it a performance also? Hoping that there is a performance that can be viewed.
Ayush Khanna Its played by Ganesh Kumaresh 😊 after the ragamalika..
Rohit Jayanthan available anwhere?
Ayush Khanna please go to www.darbarplayer.com to view the full length version of this concert
Super sir...
🙏🙏🙏
Heart shooting,,
this gentlemen were givin violin on thier day of birth itself....
Are these performances rehearsed?
Carnatic music is improvisational. Maybe the brothers thought through a structure (like ragas and mathematical patterns), but ultimately the music is spontaneous.
Yes other than basic structure and patterns it is improvisation. With practice like these artists do, it comes naturally and starts looking rehearsed. But takes hell a lot of practice and dedication.
Super 👏
No words
It's Sunadavinodini, not Amirtavarshini
Divine !
I think the third one is Natakurinji.
Raga ---
Awesome
Pure bliss 🕉️
brilliant
It is so thrilling but audience fully sleeping ?! :D
