Sindhuja Bhakthavatsalam

Post by rajeshnat »

# Sindhuja writes with her id @@Sindhuja. She has written quite a lot of great reviews say uptil 3 years back .She is the disciple of Lalgudi Rajalakshmi (amma of Jayanthi Kumaresh ). I donot know her at all yet , though her non rasikas participation is always available in youtube , blogs and many forms. Personally there is very little i know tiny bit more thru lalitha ramachandran and possibly few other friend(s). She has sung some great songs of illayaraja and ar rehman movies only as retakes through music troupe.

# Sindhuja is resident of Southern california . One can certainly say very musically expressive , a certain passed trait comes from any Lalgudi Gopala Iyer school. I noticed that she and her amma have composed a bindumalini thillana, the screen play was very much like her gurus anna Lalgudi Jayaraman

# Collaboration work to connect carnatic classical to exemplary musicians like Illayaraja or AR Rehman . I heard one lovely bahudari based raga she did where the video is taken in the beach with a song .O gosh i forgot that now

# SOme intensely serious classical songs like meru samana in mayamalavagowlai where she alone sings

# Her collabortions in the name of INdian raga are well done . WIth another female vidushi whom I dont even know in amba neelambari https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQi_-75KPHc

# With a bunch of kids from california singing kalyana rama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khk8IrgaojI with a band or group set by name IndianRaga which is definitely popular in youtube

# This is her blog http://octaves.blogspot.com and I also notice thru web that she also has her non musical website (academic career)

Others can say much more like @@Lalitharam ramachandran . I have almost said whatever I could recollect and say. Very talented the lalgudi creative flair is indeed there with Sindhuja Bhakatavatsalam .

@Sindhuja
Nice explanation upto the Lalgudi thillana i could connect both music and explanation.THe ramesh vinayagam song is bit too fast paced to follow the rakeshri. May be you should have mentioned also one of the most flagship krithis in ragam rakeshri ninaikadha neramillai popularized by madurai somu , lyrics by yazhpanam veeramani.

nice explanation of how illayaraja famous songs can be dissected . The whole world thinks as lalitha this song idhayil kathai ezhuttham , but sindhuja explains it as not lalitha but mAlAdhArini . I liked her explanation but also felt there is a bit of excess hair splitting here, for that matter may be all ragas can have another angle .

Any way lucid explanation for an extraordinary composition of illayaraja sung by SPB and Chitra with her gruhabEdham series. @sindhuja gives a great talk in below link .
