Prince Rama Varma - Voices - Mimicry - Form and Content
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- After my previous upload of Varma ji doing three different voices, Varma ji has been flooded with requests to show his face and give a demonstration of the same. Ever game for some good fun, Varma ji came up with this precious and insightful video.
But rather than just do the same thing that he did in the previous video, he pays a heartfelt tribute to one of the greatest Parody Songsters from Kerala, Sri V.D.Rajappan, who passed away a few years ago! I really wish someone would compile all of Varma ji's reminiscences, most of which are so heart warming or inspirational!
The delivery of "Barber Ramla Kesa Thailam" had me in splits! Just pure comedy gold!
And Aliveni! It just melts my heart each and every time, even when illustrated like this, halfway through an informal chat.
The video concludes with another super insightful illustration about form and content, which would be immeasurably valuable for the discerning music student as well as music lover.
NAMASKARAMS,

I absolutely LOVE Rama Varma's voice and personality. Have been a huge huge fan for many years. But this side of him with his humor, silliness and multiple talents is so enjoyable and adorable. How engagingly he explains nuances in music! Thank you for this treat. You are a treasure to the music world Varma-ji.
You might enjoy these two playlists of mostly short videos where Varma ji talks and explains the meanings of various compositions + more

Started watching you sir for the first time in my life 2 hours ago with Legend Sri M Balamuralikrishna garu speaking about music and I can't resist myself watching your videos one by one. Just love your voice and the way you make crowd involve in that magical musical world of yours. We are truly honoured and blessed to watch, you perform and be so down to earth which is again deeprooted in our culture. Thank you so much sir for spreading the sweetness of music through digital medium. We are truly indebted to you
Thank You so much Sir.. Touched by your humility.. How humane and down to earth you are.. Especially to remember V. D. Rajappan and highlighting his amazing grasp on Carnatic music.. Was unaware of that side of his character.. Normally scholarly musicians will never acknowledge some one like him.. 100 Pranams to you.. 🙏🙏
Amazed at your multiple talents too...The real 'Prince' of Travancore Royal family.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You might en joy this speech too from Varma ji ua-cam.com/video/2e8u3Jq3JQA/v-deo.html
@@musiquebox Thanks so much.. Great to hear the soothing speech of the Prince..Love his beautiful accent.. Even in an Award receiving ceremony he is not taking any credits to himself but sharing it with others.. Amazed at his earnest efforts to honor and recognise true legends in Music who gets sidelined..Touched by his 'GuruBhakthi'... Respects and humble Pranams... 🙏🙏🙏
Thampuran Pranams! Amazing explanation! Nice of you to recognize V.D. Rajappan...he was the pioneer in parody...he was an amazing lyricist. I often think why we didn't give him the credit he deserved. Many people enjoyed listening to him.Only Travancore royal blood can recognize and acknowledge pure music🙏
I have become a huge fan of Prince Rama Verma. I must see atleast one of his you tube videos every day. His humility and knowledge is amazing. May God bless you.
Haha... amusement filled with honour to humanity ,music .great observation..
Aliveni...spr.
ആദ്യം ആയി ആണ് ഇങ്ങനെ കേൾക്കുന്നത്.
അടിപൊളി.
താങ്കൾ പ്രിൻസ് അല്ല തമ്പുരാൻ ആണ്. സംഗീത തമ്പുരാൻ.
Love you
Thamburan, such a pleasure to watch you! You always exude positivity 🙏
No words to express the happiness you give in these difficult times of the pandemic. I am a complete layperson as far as music is concerned but try to listen to all types of musical expressions by the blessed people but by far Sir you have actually created a place in my home and mind. Never expected you to display your funny bone. Simply loved it. Both my husband n I are retired and your videos have become part our life. God Bless you for your Divinity.
Excellent! Prince Varmaji never ceases to amaze. He is God's gift to the world of music! And such a sense of humour....a true Prince charming!!!
It is very nice of you giving tribute to late Sri V D. Rajappan 🙏❤
Very nice, down to earth explanation Varma ji. In a very simple layman language, you have explained the nuances and styles of great musicians. Thank you so much for this wonderful post. 🙏
Your Highness, My pranams to you. I have not enjoyed any music programmes like your presentation. Nothing surprising as it is coming from the descendant of the Lord of Music, Maharaja Swathi Thirunal.🙏
So beautiful! So creative!
What a wonderful human being. He loves his audience and wants to share/impart so much in all detail so simply. Watching him for first time. Love his way of presentation.
Angaeyudae hridayathintae vishalathayae sashttaangam namikkunnu... only a person with knowledge will acknowledge others talent 🙏🙏🙏 May God bless you with good health, joy and peace
You respect all artists alike and down to earth practical and broad minded . every one should learn from you.
Brilliant, Sir! Verily, these are little nuggets of wisdom, worth their weight in gold.
From my own experience I'd only add that while a passive listener can still afford to be swayed by merely the form, any proper sangīta sādhaka, or even a serious, active listener should always dive deep endeavouring to appreciate the content, like a deep-sea diver gathering pearls of wisdom, brilliance and excellence. This endless pursuit is the only way to continuous self-improvement.
Hare Krishna! Pranaam.
Awesome explanation for a lay person like me.
Very nice mimicry and beautiful comparison
Such a lovely tribute to VD Rajappan, and fascinating mimicry of Carnatic stalwarts! Thank you.
Deeply touched by your sensitivity, humanity and humility. It was a piece of liberal education for a layman like me.
My highest salutations to you sir....amazing personality, magnanimous positive energy, humblest human ,...i love hearing your music, chats, abundant knowledge of ocean in music..🙏🙏🙏
VD Rajappan enna valya kalakaaranae smarikkunna nammudae priya Thamburan 🙏 Talent is recognized by another talent.
Hi... Thampuran
So happy to listen you ......
Lovely sir. U r a great musician and magician toooo
Really good. Expecting more
Truly sir,that air hostess scene I myself have faced! Thanks again u just made my day👍👍binge watching !
Wow! Continuing to demystify classical music for me by getting off the pedestal time and again while sharing these 'mundane' stories, intruding into our evening tea, our boy-next-door; true star sir!
Namaskaaram! Entertaining and learning session for the listeners.
In gratitude! 🙏🙏🙏 Look forward to many more of your Highness giving demonstrations! 🌹🌹🌹
And what a way to explain how bhavam and feel is to be given while singing... salutations to you Thampuran 🙏 Blessed we are to listen to your wisdom and knowledge.
sir i am your fan not only for your music but also for your simplicity. amazing. my namaskarams
One and only 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love your way of perception Varmaji ...
Sir, I really enjoyed your speech and mimicry. Yes. V D Rajappan was indeed a stalwart in his field and I have also thought that he was very genuine in making parodies that never went below a benchmark.
Loved to see your humorous side,Sir.In these times the funny bones needs to be tickled.Feeling blessed just listening you.🙏🙏
Thank you Rama Varma. Happy today. Shashi.
Lovely! Please keep it up for our delectation and learning, during these Pandemic times! Thank you!!!
The past few days have been just unbelievable, thanks you you, Varma ji! Watching this video leaves me at a loss for words! My entire family are big fans of both Cochin Kalabhavan and V.D.Rajappan. Though we never spoke much about him unlike some of the more high profile actors. Your short video made me rediscover the brilliance of the man and his sad end. I never knew that he was classically trained, until now! I always held you in the highest esteem as an artist, but for sure, I hold you in even higher esteem as a human being. In a world where so many people are so calculating and where the majority of celebrities seem to do or say every single thing with some ulterior motive like gathering votes, it is so refreshing to have a startlingly normal person like you, who is always the same, be it on stage or at home in lockdown. You seem to have discovered the profound truth that we are all here only for some time and to conduct your life accordingly, with a rare sort of lightness of being that is really hard to come by. God bless you Varma ji, for all that you are and all that you do.
How beautiful to listen to you!!!!!
The difficult Carnatic music seems enjoyable.
🙏
I found it very interesting. A good performer too. Another humorous side of you.
Thankyou very much just today I came to know about your music and how humble your talk.i am blessed to hear from you.my namaskaram to you.In all respect in life.
Sir your are so divine in all forms.u are a inspiration to millions,god is kind enough give u every good things in life yet u are so humble,thank u so much
I have known Varma ji for 20 years and he would be probably the only person I know, who is exactly the same always. Whether it is in public or in private, whether it is while dealing with his gurus, disciples, accompanists or taxi drivers and waiters at restaurants. I feel extremely grateful that because of this lockdown, Varma ji was kind enough to make at least a few personal videos like this too, rather than just share some of his concert videos. Since only Varma ji and I know just how much efffort I had to take in the beginning, to get Varma ji to share his videos with me, I feel extremely happy when I see comments like yours, that it was completely worth the effort that I put in.
Thank u,there is a Kannada proverb "thumbedha kudha thullukuvudilla"which aptly fits the highness.stay safe n healthy
VERY BEAUTIFUL SIR.THANKS
Amazing person. 😇😇🤩🙏
i just love it
Dear Sir very nice thank you
Wow Amazing Sir!👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊
I feel Am too late to come to this channel...
U r a legend.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Varma ji has always been notoriously publicity shy and doesn't even have an account on facebook, instagram, twitter and so on. But during these past few months of lockdown, he has been extremely kind and gracious to have shared so many heart warming and personal glimpses like this too, with me. All I ask from people like you, who can appreciate the whole package that Varma ji offers, would be to spread these videos as widely as you can, among your like minded friends.
Very interesting!a lot to learn and appreciate.
😊nice content with in you sir.. 🙏🤗
Sarvakala vallabhan Thamburan!!!👍👍👍
A very engaging 17 minutes. Your imitation of the yester year greats was outstanding. I loved the MDR imitation the most.
Beautiful mimic of all the three legends 👍🙏
Thanks a lot for the lesson mixed with comedy ... we live in times where we can afford only online gurus now ...hopefully by god's grace all should be back to how it was . 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I like you so so so much and your voice
Wow super great 🙏
Huge fan of you sir
