Hamsalekha on why Muttina Haara flopped

A recording of an impromptu jam session with two fantastic musicians I met at Karlsplatz in Vienna. I just heard Samuel strum the guitar and decided to sing this very popular Devaranama by Vyasatirtha set to Yaman Kalyani raaga. I was pleasantly surprised that the violinist Matthias (faintly heard in the recording) was adept at following whatever I sang, a skill which I previously thought was very unique to Indian music.
