Dear Silverfox,

You should listen to these very very young kinds with very very great talents - called Balabrahmam - especially abhilaash's aalaapana just mesmerized me!

And Master Anantharaaman's "pibhare raamarasam" is a real great WoW!

Dear Amoorkan:

Fantastic music! These youngsters are indeed gifted! Thank you for introducing me to all this good stuff!
KRS, you, too! Thanks, guys!

Dear Silverfox,

I was going to post a new topic called "The Brahmin Prodigies" but then I realized there will be no end to tooting our trumpets!

Flute Maali!

Thodi is a MELAKARTHA ragam. Its Ghanaraga with
SA RI GA MA PA DA NI SA - AAROHANA
SA NI DHA PA MA GA RI SA - AVAROHANA

Thodi raga sung by Madurai T.N. Seshagopalan Sir, was exemplery. This is a evening raga which can be sing in the evening.

Its very great hearing this raga here

Sir, Keep it up!

I hope you've all heard of Aishu Venkataraman: a child prodigy in Carnatic music. At 13, she plays the Thodi ragam as if it were her second nature.

Also, I hope you enjoy this excellent demonstration of Thodi by Guitar Prasanna, another tamil brahmin musician who has made the guitar his musical domain:
