- #darbarfestival | The Malladi Brothers use Hindustani Raag Rageshwari as the setting for a lively thillana, a Carnatic song form based on strong rhythm and dance-like interplay.

Learn more about the music:
The Malladi Brothers (Sreeramprasad and Ravikumar) sing Carnatic vocal music together. They hail from an illustrious Andhra Pradesh musical family, training under their grandfather Srirammurthy and father Suri Babu, as well as Nedunuri Krishnamurthy and Sripada Pinakapani. Their style of singing blends a deep approach to composition with extended forays into improvisation, covering rare ragas and commanding stages around the world.
A thillana is a form of rhythmic Carnatic song, often used to end performances. It is strongly influenced by Indian classical dance forms, and is intended to bring a satisfying conclusion to long kutcheri [Carnatic concerts]. Some believe that the form is in part derived from the North Indian tarana, a fast-paced style influenced by Persian and Arabic music.
This particular thillana composition was written by the legendary 20th century musician Lalgudi Jayaraman, one of Carnatic music’s ‘violin trinity’. He borrows from North Indian music, using the framework of Hindustani Raag Rageshwari - a melodious raga drawing from Khamaj thaat [SRGmPDnS - the equivalent Carnatic scale is Harikambhoji]. Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi, Jayaraman’s daughter, plays violin in this performance.
Recorded at Darbar on 26 Oct 2018, at London’s Barbican Centre

*Very few pieces of music can leave you absolutely speechless. During these moments, there’s nothing left for words or thoughts to organize in your mind. That opening alaap is one such piece. I bow to his mind which comes up with such immense beauty.*
I could not agree with you more! I wish he would do this aalap for an hour!
the starting alap has spoken so much emotions ... without any words... this is an other speciality of classical music... 👏👏💙 love from north to south 😊
Hi samiran deka,
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
Please like, share and join our channel :) we appreciate your support.
Darbar Festival, this team deserves more uploads...at least the thani avarthanam please...
I missed a breath or two listening to some of the astonishing sangatis in the Alapana with a typical Voleti Garu stamp. Malladi bros are a rare gift of Saraswati to the world of music.
Voleti was a true legend.
His voice is so relaxing wow
Tears in my eyes after listening to the alap
No words to say ❤
what a great country.....what immense talent.....Bharat Maata is blessed....
Thoroughly uplifted. I First heard them in a Spicmacay concert in 2006. 13 years now and they sound exactly as they used to. My Pranam to the evergreen extremely melodious duo.
Aman Ghormade they meant uplifting for audience not music 😅
Any classical thing is just best from the things running in current times
@@ChandrashekarRadhakrishnan
Poor me.... That's why Sanskrit was best no ambiguity. Jk. Thanks for the info I ll change my comment.
One of the FINEST pieces of music you have uploaded on your channel, Darbar. Take a bow, entire time of this concert. What PHENOMENAL voice both the brothers have and SUCH brilliance in execution. I always considered Rageshri rather limited in creative scope; but the first few seconds of that alaap was enough to prove me wrong. Such command, power and skill executed with a team of equally talented musicians. Thank you for this gem, Darbar!
Prof. Trichy Sankaran My God. Goosebumps!
हृदय से गाया गया और हृदय से सुना गया। अति सुंदर।
This is probably the most beautiful Rageshwari I’ve ever heard- and I’ve heard hundreds! These brother evoke the romantism of the rag like no other.
Proud to be Indian.Proud to be a Indian classical musician,soul touching singing.Wish to meet these classical music Lords
Beauty of their voice is u hear them seperately yet together so synchronously
Highly melodious. Music teacher, Kendriya Vidyalaya.No.1 Vijayawada
How can such a performance get only this much views? I mean this is superbly sung -- This itself is an understatement.
Hi Sivaramakrishna Shriraam Sundaram,
Thanks for your message.
People have a right to 'dislike' - what matters is that we enjoyed the music :)
Wah..chala bagundi..!💐💐
Eeshwaraa.. I’m speechless...
They have unique way of finishing no one does this. Excellent. Wow wow.
It's a feast for the soul...thanks for uploading:)
so much love and respect for these two...exceptional, emotional, and eloquent. i have unexplainable tears in my eyes...
A wonderful composition of Lalgudi Sir and exraordinary rendering by both brothers, especially Ravikumar marvelous. He is like my son in law as his wife is from my Burra vari vamsam, my great grand father were 7 brothers, may be from that tree. People migrated to different places, all elders died, there is nobody to tell about vamsa vruksham. Nobody knows each other. I happened to meet them in Varanasi, Andhra Ashram, few years back. Lord Shivas blessings are with them. Very good singers in the present generation.
WOW... No words.. This is true bliss
Wow an Awesome and Stellar performance.
3:42 to 3:55 ! My heart was resonating along with Sankaran Sir's thunderous beats ! _/\_

Is Raga Rageshwari the same as Raga Rageshri in Hindustani music? I can hear some of the same characteristic melodic figures (pakads).
Wah
Lalgudi should be proud of all the artistes
Darbar festival:) please invite Dr. Pantula Rama ji on your Beautiful stage!

Little similar to Gavathi Ragam. There is a Varnam in Gavathi Composed by Shri. GNB Sir. So nice.
