Kadri Gopalnath - Live at Le Guess Who?

On the closing night of Le Guess Who? 2018, Indian Carnatic music pioneer Kadri Gopalnath gave a mesmerizing performance, curated by Shabaka Hutchings.

About:
Kadri Gopalnath’s life’s work is to incorporate the woodwind instrument into the classic South Indian Carnatic music. To do so, the 69-year-old saxophone maestro single-handedly modified his alto sax and developed inventive playing techniques, recreating the microtones and vocal-like arrangements of orthodox Indian music. It took Gopalnath over twenty years to successfully integrate his instrument into Carnatic music, but the results are stunning; an ecstatic and majestic sound combining the best of both worlds.

Camera operators: Wim Adam, Milan van Dril, Roy Jamhouri, Tim van Voort.
Recorded on Sunday, 11 November, at TivoliVredenburg's Grote Zaal.

[@BobBruer]

Wonderful music but I am wondering about the role of the person to Dr. Gopalnath's right (our left)? Could he be a vocalist? Or a soloist not featured in this section of the concert?

[@elborrador333]

He's probably there to keep/show the time cycle on his hand.

[@abhimalavalli]

Good question, I think he's keeping a count of Tala more visually assisting the person on Mridungam may be? I have seen a person with this role in other concerts of Dr Gopalnath's too
