Malyalam dance songs suitable for Bharatanatayam

Post by kzivraj »

Hello everyone,

Could the experts please suggest a few dance songs in Malayalam that would be suited for Bharatanatyam? Also, any pointers to purchasing the music for it commercially would be extremely helpful.

Thank you and look forward to hearing the responses.

Best wishes,

Krishna

Thank you for your responses. I was looking for some dance songs that are pure classical rather than movie based. Any padams or javalis for instance? Or kauvthuvams or invocatory pieces on Lord Ayyapa for instance?

Look forward to hearing from the members of this forum.

Several of Maharaja Swati Tirunal's padams are part of the bharatanATyam repertoire: like alarSara paritApam, aLivENi yendu, and many more

Ravi,

I think, most of the Swathi Thirunal padam's are apt for Mohiniattam, than Bharatanatyam.

I have seen them in bharatnATyam as well. But agree that their pace is more suited to mOhiniATTam
