WONDERFUL ABSOLUTE! INDEED, RAAGA HAMUMAT-TODI - OR JANA-TODI; OR KARNAATAKA TODI - DESERVES A PRIMORDIAL PLACE IN GLOBAL MUSIC. THIS MELAKARTA 8 OF VEKATMUKHI - HOWEVER CORRESPONDING - TO THAAT BHAIRAVI (IN NORTHERN ERMINOLOGY: SA. KOMAL RE, KOMAL GA, SHUDDHA MA. PA, KOMAL DHA, KOMAL NI) - THIS IS NO RAAGA BHAIRAVEE OF THE NORTH. ITS MOST IMPORTANT NOTES ARE: KOMAL GA AND KOMAL DHA - NOT SA AND MA OF NORTHERN RAAGA BHAIRAVEE . THE NOTES-MOVEMENTS OF THIS KARNAATAKA TODI ARE PERENNIALLY ORIGINAL; AND ITS USE OF ATI-KOMAL MOTES REMAIN UNIQUELY WONDERFUL. GOD BLESS YOU FOR INTRODUCING THIS CREST-JEWEL OF RAAGAS.

Please, Charulatha, why must you speak in English? You are Tamilian, the audience is Tamil and you are giving a concert in the heart of Tamil Nadu, and yet not only you but all the musicians of Carnatic Music speak or explain in English. GO figure!!
Global maybe but how would a person understand and appreciate carnatic music if he/she speaks only English? You know what? South Indians are still under the slave mentality of the British. It is considered to be elite if one speaks in English.@@cecilsmelodies

Adhu enna sir "elite" audience?
How to touch upon all the signature aspects of thodi.. When singing ragam.. In a short time?
One way is to take phrases from popular krithis in Todi. The other way is to listen to RTPs in thodi

Her audience on TH-cam is truly global, not just Tamil Nadu.
if interacting in english helps the music reachable then what wrong in it.. be proud to be a tamilan but not arrogant sir
Language should connect people together. Not separate them apart. I think you may understand
Why do you think I am arrogant? So you are saying that People who speak English will understand and appreciate carnatic music, eh?+@@ganeshmr388
