Does anyone know where more video footage of Mali can be found? All I can find is this one prgram in 2 or 3 parts from the archives of AIR. But there must be hundreds of recordings of him on AIR, as well at public concerts. Where are they? I MUST find them! Thanking you, a fellow Rasika

@ronnieanand What you said is what I implied. I said it in layman language :)

Western Music also is not much into improvisations... most of it is composed, pre decided and played... In Carnatic, improvised music and manodharma sangitham is the heart.. Other than Jazz and some Blues... improvisations in Western Music is very limited...

Generally it terms of melodic complexity... if you have to give 5 marks to western classical, you need to give about 10000 marks for carnatic... In terms of Harmonic complexity, Carnatic is 0.5 and western music is 10

Nope... not at all....

Fundamental Difference... Western Music is rich in Harmonic Complexity, not in Melodic Complexity... Indian Classical is more melodic. Indian Classical is very preliminary in harmonic complexity ... As a basic comparison in Melodic Complexity... Western music has few scales and a modes... Most of it is Major scales and 7 modes around it.. or Harmonic Minor and its modes... These 14 scales are utmost you will get to see and a few other alterned scales in jazz.

@carnaticsangeetham1 You are right but let me respectfully notify you that western classical music does not potray drugs, women and so on. We have a tendency to forget that western classical and western popular music are different. Carnatic music is very rich, no argument on that but western classical music is also deep and technical in its on aspect. Both forms of music are similar yet very much in different direction. :)

He has rendered Kalavathi ragam (Ennudu juthuno) very well.

Mali seems terrible as a team player ... frequently indulging in unnecessary swara gymnastics and trying to outfox his accompanists! Yet, his talented team carries him well - all the four have done a marvellous job!
