- #darbarfestival | A saraswati veena performance of Kapi, live in London, showcasing the raga’s devotional mood and unique phrasings, enabled by the presence of two distinct ni swaras.
Learn more about the music:
Jayanthi Kumaresh’s saraswati veena is an ancient instrument, named after the Hindu goddess of arts and learning. But her gently electrified version produces a strikingly guitaristic tone, igniting Carnatic classical melodies with sweeping bends. She started playing aged three, and learned under her mother Lalgudi Rajalakshmi, before leaving home aged 13 to study with her aunt Padmavathy Ananthagopalan. She also received instruction from her great-uncle, violinist Lalgudi Jayaraman, and noted veenai S Balachander.
A few years later she became one of the youngest artists to receive an All India Radio ‘A’ grading, earned a doctorate in veena history, and founded the Indian National Orchestra, uniting musicians from India’s classical traditions in a large ensemble. On recent recordings she has experimented with recording seven layers of veena on top of each other, and continues to write for dance and film. Listen to Jayanthi here:
-Kapi (Thillana) | • Carnatic Music | Jayan...
-Simhendramadhyamam | • Breathtaking Carnatic ...
-Demonstration | • Jayanthi Kumaresh | Ra...
Kapi is a popular Carnatic ragam, associated with slow tempos and a certain devotional sadness.
It is and audav-vakra sampoorna rāga, ascending with five notes [SR₂M₁PN₃S] and descending with seven in a meandering order [SN₂D₂N₂PM₁G₂R₂S]. Much of the distinctive sound comes from the presence of two distinct ni swaras. The mood can also be coloured by adding a light touch of shuddha dha [D₁]. It is similar to Hindustani Raag Piloo.
Recorded for Darbar on 19 Sep 2013, at London’s Southbank Centre

When she plays veena, it looks as if Goddess Saraswathi is sitting on the stage and playing the Veena ! Bliss .
👍
i was raised on carnatic. i sometimes wish i can hear it again as first time to blast those myelinated pathways instead like my axons/dendrites that are used to this beautiful music. to be a westerner that hears this for first time in adulthood in a setting where they pay attention, their neurons must just reach out and hug each other in a way that makes their whole brain feel warm and fuzzy lol.
Exactly!! I always wonder how it feels listening to this first time!
You are correct sir. The first time I heard this music it was in a movie when I was a kid. I felt very strange all over my body and didn’t understand what was happening. The only thing I knew is that I had just discovered something very special and unique and that I had to find more of it. It’s only years later that I felt something that could rival that feeling and it was my first sexual intercourse.

Yes ♥️🙏🏻♥️
Kapi itself is such a soulful raga. She elevated the raga even more with her Veena. Divine !!
this Raga is a remedy for anxiety and depression. Thank you so much for posting this.
Atanu Bardhan fully embrace the beautiful things in and you'll feel your woes fade
Incredible! To bring an ancient instrument into the now and to make it sound completely contemporary is what it's all about!
+John Martini John, the Veena is doubtless an ancient instrument, but what's contemporary is being decided in the here and now! The same scales and music have been played for a thousand years or more, but artists the world over are taking notice in a big way only now thanks to media and the internet. :)
What contemporary ? Indian classical music has been sounding like this for a long time.
Only contemporary is watching this concert through CZcams and the location is in abroad rest all is the same it was passed on from generations to generations. Namaskar.
This is just one of the infinite possibility of kapi ragam. Which means every player has their own interpretation of kapi raga and can play in respect to what emotion they are in . There are infinite sangadhis and swara interpretation . Isn't that just wonderful? Carnatic music !!!
I love the mellow sound of the veena.It conveys a different mood from the sitar. Brilliant playing.

sensational
Paaaah ..wat a seemless transition to Western notes at 8.00 and the thirst to get back to classical...
Saraswathi :)
I want to play this music in my funeral
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please correct the title to "Ragam Thanam" instead of Alapana, as it is a completely different performance piece unique to the Carnatic style.
Wow
superbmam
Waao 🙂
