It had been a long pending one, the desire to compose something in the raga sahana. Sahana is one of the very beautiful ragas and has a few pieces in film songs which are all huge blockbusters. 

Similar to my composition Beauty of Nalinakanthi, I made this as Beauty of Sahana. Do check this one and if you like it, do share it with your friends (Reposting, facebook, twitter and what not ;)).

Cheerio!

Beauty Of Sahana - Vijay Kannan

Project YUJ has faithfully and authentically bridged the gap of the Western and Indian traditions through their brand of music, Neo-Carnatic Funk. YUJ's command of style allows the band members to effortlessly shift gears and steer the course into the unknown, flanked by novelty and technique to burn. From the slick modern arrangement of Deekshitar's classic kriti “Mahaganapathim”, to the upbeat montunos of “Maputo”, to the korvais of  “Reethigowla Blues”, all the way to the Flecktones - inspired, “Banjo Rumble”, the album consistently surprises and changes course, keeping the listener surprised, guessing and eager for more. If the maiden voyage holds this much promise, the future looks bright.

Song Lyrics:

Pallavi:

KanmaniyE kAviyamE
Kann variantha oviyamE

Perazhagu dEvadayE
Arputhathil pEr arputhamE

Unnai urukiyE ennai Eendreduthaalakki
Athil neE magizhchi kandAi perumayum kondAi

Stanza:
En than thevaigal, athai muzhuthum nee arivai
En than mounangal, athin arthangal nee purivAi 
Anbin mozhi mattum pEsum unakku veru mozhigal theriyathu
ThAyainum mElAna deivam ulagilE vEronru kidayathu.

Ithu varai neE seitha thyAgangal pothume
Ini nee endan sEye naan undan thaaye

KanmaniyE kAviyamE
KanvalarAi KanvalarAi

aariraaro oraariroo

aariraaro oraariroo
mhmmmm.....

English translation:

Pallavi:

Apple of my eye, a true masterpiece (metaphorical)
A stunning painting par excellence (metaphorical)
An angel so immensely beautiful
You are nothing short of a miracle

From my birth, you have endured a lot of pain, all the way
But radiated only happiness and pride every single day

Stanza:

My needs and desires, you know too well
My silent moments, you understand them all
You speak only the language of love, none other
There is no angel greater than you, O Mother!

Enough of all the sacrifices you have made for me so far
It is now my turn to be your mother, O my dear! (Implied)

Apple of my eye, a true masterpiece (metaphorical)
sleep my dear, sleep my dear...

Lyrics and meaning (from karnAtik.com (http://www.karnatik.com/c1002.shtml))

pallavi:

brOva bhAramA raghurAmA bhuvanamella nIvai nannokani

anupallavi:

shrI vAsudEva anDakOTula gukSiNi yuncakOlEdA nannu

caraNam:

kalashAmbudhilO dayatO namarulakai adigAka gOpi
kalakai koNDa letta lEdA karuNAkara tyAgarAjuni

Meaning:
Oh Karunaakaraa (a name for Vishnu), is it a heavy burden for you to protect a single soul like me? You are the whole universe itself and as Krishna showed it all to be in your stomach. Have you not lovingly borne for the sake of the Devas the whole weight of Mount Mandara when the ocean was churned, and have you not lifted Mount Govardhan for the sake of Gopis?

Brovabarama - Vijay Kannan Ft. Uma Ram and Balakrishna

EDIT: (11/11/2017) The reception towards this piece had motivated me to start the Beauty of Ragas series.  I have re-recorded and remastered the original track as I was never happy with the quality of the flute recording. I hope you all like it as well now.. :)

A sequel to my previous composition for my blog posting on the raga Nalinakanthi : http://aboutindianmusic.com/2012/03/raga-nalinakanthi-part-2/ 

I hope unlike the usual way in which sequels suck, this is better than the previous. 

Do use headphones please :-)

Beauty Of Nalinakanthi - REDONE - (REMASTERED)

I have played different styles of music from traditional carnatic to film-pop. However something that I've always leaned towards is to explore the idea of propping up our beautiful classical music against various genres like pop, rock, jazz etc. So here is a song from my outfit Karthick Iyer Live. We have played Thyagaraja's krithi Manavyala in the raga Nalinakanthi.

Do share! :) 

Covers music got a lively twist with the entrance of Karthick Iyer Live. Karthick Iyer who has played with bands and in festivals spanning almost all the continents in the world, has contemporized the existing format to suit the ever changing needs of the audiences. His concerts are known to touch every single person in the crowd, from old to new and from the laymen to the learned. He spices up his concerts with medleys of English, Tamil and Carnatic songs rolled into one. Dressed in a dazzling Moghul costume, holding a blue electric violin and armed with a compelling selection of Tamil, Hindi, English and Carnatic songs, Karthick is ready to cast a spell!
