Gajavadana (Hamsadhwani. M.D.Ramanathan)

Prince Rama Varma, accompanied by M.A.Sundareswaran on the violin and legendary Trichy Shankaran on the mridangam delivers M.D.Ramanathan's composition in Hamsadhwani,
"Gajavadana" at a spanking pace. I Love how sweetly and melodiously he sings "Natha Varadadasa"
:-) Varmaji played me a tape of M.D.Ramanathan sing this song just as fast as this and Varadadasa
like this too and said that people wrongly feel that M.D.Ramanathan only sang slowly.

I echo your thoughts completely :-) This isn't Varmaji here though. You can reach him at the user id Musique4ever.

Through this elaborate keerthana the prince has shown the world that Karnataka Music's founder Sri Puranadaradaasa's compositions are not limited to padas.

Thanks for posting such a great performance.
