It's been a long time since I saw Amrutha sing in Chennai: really missing her.

It's simple Nick H - you probably will need to come to Bengaluru!

I unfortunately missed it due to a mini-crisis - but a friend told me that she'd sung a beautiful rasikapriya pallavi - very interesting - I'm trying to recall from memory - vinayAka-vallabha nAyaka-gajAnanayuthA-siddhivinAyaka - not sure of the talam - but I understand it was extremely interesting with ragamalika swarams of hamsadhwani landing at 'vinayAyaka'; similarly 'begada swarams' at 'Vallabha nAyaka", 'chakravakam' at 'Gajananayutha' and 'shanmugapriya' at 'Siddhivinayaka' etc
The main apparently was a beautiful Kharaharapriya - followed by a popular devarnama (I understand MLV used to sing it) - with neraval, swaram; I'm trying to remember the rest were - 'abhogi varnam', 'mayateertha', 'kedaram-anandanatana prakasham', a super-brisk pantuvarali-raghuvara.
Unable to recall the 'tukkadas' - was told they were very good.

The pallavi seems to be that of Smt Charumathi Ramachandran (a guru of Amrutha). CR had set this in Hamsadhwani in Khanda Jati Ata (Tisra nadai). Perhaps AV has sung it in rasikapriya and then had ragamalika swaras in the other ragas.

I know of one devarnama MLV sang in Kharaharapriya - Laalisidalu Magana Yashode - a very beautiful and brisk tempo song.

Apparently the song is "bharati deviya nene nene" (Kharaharapriya)
