It is such a delightful video with two sons of the great violinist Papa Venkararamaiah with the brilliant Padamshri Palghat Raghu san with the great brothers. Thank you Saraswathi Gaanam for this fantastic video as a New Year gift to us rasikas. Kedaram song was so beautiful. PPN Kanthikumar/Calif
When Palghat Raghu san was a young man biking to the Kalpathi, Palghat residence of his guruji Palghat Mani Iyer, as he and his buddy KV Narayanaswami sat around the esteemed guruji would instruct Raghu san and others that the modus operandi in his school was : kandum kettum paddhicholu ... the three Ls : Look, Listen and Learn. Raghu san did all the three Ls dilignetly and went on to become one of the best mridangists in our dear Carnatic Music tradition and produced such still around mridangist such as Trichur "Chittazhi" Narendran and Trivandrum Balaji. PPN Kanthikumar from Calif
The other day the mridanga vidwan who is now 76, Shri TS Radhakrishnan, told us in one old kutcheri Shri Umayalpuram and Raghu san played double mridangam! Imgime being in that august audience! Pure heaven!
PALGAHT RAGHU san was one of the best ever. He knew the instument in and out making him one of the best topmost percussion on our planet. No other culture including the Hindiustani style can boast a better percussion than our own mridu anga mridangam.. Imagine the genius behind its designe! Our ancesters were so far ahead of the rest of the musical family when it came to the design and varieties[ghatam, ganjeera, tavil, chenda, maddalam, edakka, moharsing, ...]of percussions! Pranams to the creators. PPN Kanthikumar/calif
Shri V Nagarajan once mentioned that the moment he and his siblinbgs woke up in their Madras home all there was was music until bedtime. No wonder the brothers grew up to become accomplished musicians! Pranams to their illustrious memories . PPN Kanthikumar/Calif
