Magical Ragamalika | Ganesh & Kumaresh | Carnatic Violin | Music of India

#darbarfestival | ‘Ragamalika’ translates to ‘garland of ragas’. Let South India’s finest violin brothers lead you through a variety of moods, sampling many different musical colours. Learn more about the music: Ganesh & Kumaresh Rajagopalan are Carnatic music’s foremost violin brothers, having performed together for over four decades. Their insurance broker father was also a talented violinist, and started teaching them at the ages of three and two respectively. They received acclaim as prodigies, and performed over 100 times before Kumaresh (the younger) had turned ten. By their early teens they were playing to acclaim at major festivals, with a maturity of style that belied their years. All India Radio even lowered their minimum age to become a highly graded artist in response. They play classical music with colourful modern flourishes, and visit out-and-out fusion territory too, working with jazz and electronic musicians. An open-minded style is no surprise - the Uttar Pradesh family home they grew up in often played host to concerts from visiting musicians from both the North and South. Carnatic legends such as MS Gopalakrishnan hail them as the best violinists of their generation, and they continue to experiment today. Ragamalika, literally meaning ‘garland of ragas’, refers to a musical form which blends different ragas into one piece. Popular in Carnatic music for centuries, it allows for more freedom and more concise emotional contrasts than traditional raga structures. Musicians seek to avoid abrupt jumps in mood or scale, but the points of change should still be apparent. Similarly, a ‘talamalika’ is a blend of different rhythm cycles into one composition. The two can be combined into a ‘ragatalamalika’. The 18th century composer Ramaswami Dikshitar (father of Muthuswami) is often considered to be the king of these mixed forms, using hundreds of them over his lifetime. He even wrote a vast Telugu composition known as Ashtottara Shata which blends 108 ragas and 108 talas - one combination for each line, and one line for each name of Devi, the supreme goddess. Unfortunately only part of the work survives today.
