Maathe-Khamas

Just the opening bars. Go on, give me feedback.

En Mel Vizhundha

Elara Krishna (pallavi)

This song captivates me. 

I have written about it (and other Raaja songs) here: http://ramaaramesh.wordpress.com/2011/12/26/for-the-love-of-raaja/

Oru Poongavanam

Adiye - Taster

Vaan Varuvaan Varuvaan

Once more it is borne in upon me what an effortless singer S Janaki was. Deceptively simple!. This very short track took me close to 10 tries!! (Hopeless :-) )

Kaatril Endhan Geetham - Opening Bars

Kaatril Enthan Geetham

A lovely song. I'm always humming this, so I thought I might as well soundcloud the first few seconds!

Phir Le Aaya (Barfi) - The introductory bars...

Haven't sung anything close to Carnatic in three years, so I thought I would make a humble beginning with a favourite geetham. Vara Veena, a geetham in the raga Mohanam, is set to Rupaka thaalam. Hop over to http://www.karnatik.com/c1734.shtml for a quick lyrics + meaning check.


vara veena-mohanam

Classically trained vocalist based in Leeds (Indian classical music, 15 years). If you are looking for a trained voice for ad jingles / albums / other, leave a comment here or @ramaaramesh on twitter.

I love Ilayaraaja's music and nearly anything sung by Rafi.  In the Carnatic genre, I particularly like listening to TNS and Sanjay Subramaniam.
I also enjoy reading (PG Wodehouse, Agatha Christie, Saki, Huxley, Richard Bach, some bestsellers). 
I write short stories, poetry and select first person accounts.
I'm pleased to meet you!
