Amazing Thaniavarthanam (Palghat Raghu and Udipi Sridhar) 1/3

A mind blowing Thaniavarthanam by Legendary Mridangam Maestro Palghat Raghu and Udipi Sridhar
for the Maharaja Swathi Thirunal composition "Raasa Vilasa" which, as far as I know, is one of the few,
if not the only composition by any composer which starts at Onnara Edam (Six counts after the first beat) in Randu Kala Chowkam. The challenge posed by this unusual edam inspires the maestros to dizzying heights of brilliance. I offer this video with my prayers as a tribute to Raghu Sir who left us all recently. I wonder whether one would come across a brain like his ever again.

Wonderful thani of PR. Thanks to Musiquebox for uploading it.

A minor correction to the video description: Onnara Idam (in chatusram) should be 12 beats (counts or maathra's) after the first 'adi' or in other words "12 thalli'. Correct me please, if I am wrong.

thanks
