U Srinivas - Tiruvadi Saranam (1/3)

the melodic material is to be the same as the north indian now almost extinct raga Kamboji, still sung by the Dagar family, plus raga Jhinjhoti and much of the Khamaj thaat ragas.

If one wants to learn to elaborate on a melody, one should listen to Mandolin Srinivas. So much depth and beauty in the note movements. See how he brings the Kambhoji stamp by starting with P...D2 M1 G3..P D2 G3 R S..N2 D2 P..one of the DATTu (non linear) note movements of Kambhoji, which is instantly differentiating it from Yadukula Kambhoji and Bilahari...Kambhoji is a very emotive melody,with high emotional quotient...but it requires high IQ to understand and play/sing!

wow nice kambhoji.

This kriti of Gopalakrishna Bharti is my forever favorite and in the hands of the master U Srinivas it attains ethereal levels .
 THANKS ShootMyMonkey

Wow, just Wow, I wouldn't care if he was playing a guitar synth hybrid, it is beautiful , spiritual music, and a very unique sound.

Forget about what it is and what it is not, it's beautiful man.

Long live!

Right, and after you get invitations to play around the world at prestigious events even at the age of 11, you can proclaim how easy it is to play like Mandolin Srinivas. Just keep in mind that he has earned the title "mandolin srinivas" for a reason. Youtube such a positive tool to expose creativity yet it is a forum for keyboard commandos to run their mouths about just anything.
