Amazing!! Carnatic, Hindustani, classical, folk--music is music. Why make such a fuss? Listen to what you like and refrain from making stupid comments. If we had a even grain of talent and genius of these giants, then we should comment, or else shut up and just ENJOY. Thanks.

The story is that Palakkad Mani was never in time with a metronome. He played to a beat of his own and created such marvelous rhythms. Which goes to show that all the strictness of form of Carnatic music is only the chrysalis. Once the butterfly is fully formed, it flies free to much greater heights.

@rapiddev this is Alathur srinivasa Iyer.

Is this Aryakuddi Ramanuja Iyengar or is this Alathur? Anybody?

I attended a fine concert by Nithyasree Mahadevan in Delhi yesterday. No doubt she sang well. What spoiled the show was the Mridangam. Drowned violin totally. After pointing this out, the organisers did some control. not much. The Mridangist was doing a solo!! Incidentally, the legendary Palghat Mani Iyer is Nithyasree's Grandfather

It is just fantastic to see this performance by the great artists.

Good mridangam is fully extinct today. I have stopped going for concerts just because the mridangam accompaniments are all (mostly) stale and uninspiring and solely aim at being subservient to the main artist (so as not to be out of the market). Of course very few exceptions do exist. I would prefer watching this video for another thousand times than going for any other contemporary concert.
