Raga Nalinakanthi Part - 2

Hi all,

I have updated my blog with the second part of the discussion on the beautiful and romantic raga naLinakAnthI. In the first part of raga naLinakAnthI a basic introduction to this beautiful raga was made with regard to its structure and handling along with a comparison between a close sister raga kedAram.
The second part starts with a comparison between the hindustani raga Thilak KhAmod and Nalinakanthi. Then the colours of nalinakanthi are discussed from the point of view of compositions, both classical and cinematic.
As a finishing, I have included a small composition of mine in this raga, a western-classical-indian fusion.

Cheers!!

Raga Nalinakanthi Part -1

Hi all,

I have new post on the beautiful Raga Nalinakanthi where I have discussed the beautiful, romantic and utterly blissful carnatic raga. It is a raga derived from the major scale raga sankarabharanam. It is very similar in scale to another raga called kedAram. In the post, I have discussed the difference between the two ragas and also given audio clips to help understand the beauty of these ragas.

Do read through it here and leave your comments and questions. => Raga nalinakanthi -1
