Is there any online site other than musicindia online and raaga where i could listen to music.Musicindia online does not update its carnatic vocal at all.it only does the various film music.

Is there anyone we could write to who can update the site with new songs when new cassettes/cds get released?

thanks

Ramya, please do try www.sangeethapriya.org
It's THE hub for carnatic music online! However, they're having server issues right now so bear with them and try accessing the site in a few days.

MUSIC LINKS NAGESH,

I have just joined as a member in the Rasikas Org Forum yesterday ( 05-03-2009) . Even though I have been going through the very interesting topics being discussed in the various threads for a long time, only now I have joined as a member.

I have very nice friends in the forum ( Mr . Coolji , friend for more than 20 years ), Arasi etc.

Any guess about " MUSIC LINKS "

Hello everyone,
I am a Student from Mumbai.
I have been listening to CM since 4-5 months. I wish to know much more about CM and request the senior Rasikas to help me by giving me some articles or guiding me on books that are available so that I can learn to appreciate the vast world of CM.

hello,
True to the expression: "You don't need to know everything, you just need to know where to look it up,' the rasikas forums are responsible for exponentially increasing my limited access the carnatic world while I am so far from home (here in canada).
thank you so much!

koyaliya - welcome - your screen name conjures up images of the sweet singing of the cuckoo (kOyal madhurE sAj), the voice of thunder (mEghA bOlE) joining in, clouds bursting (barsE badariyA) and the whole scene illuminated by lightining that's overcome its shyness (dAmini chODE lAj) - all to herald the advent of krishNa!!! (from 2:09 to 2:22 of this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHgiv0-H224 will explain why

thank you rshankar!
one of the pictures in that video is the cover of a dog-eared, 'well-read,' amar chitra katha that was my first exposure to meerabai.
and that song, indeed, along with my sweet little 9-month-old niece who now looks to the laptop and immediately begins to sing, were the inspiration for my handle.
thank you all for the warm welcome.

Hello Everybody,
Namaskar!!! I am new to this forum. Just wanted to say 'Hi' to everybody. I don't know is this correct forum to post this, if it's not, sorry about that.
I am "Bharatnatyam Visharad" and loves dancing. But I didn't get chance to continue with my dance since last 5-6 years. I got married and have kid and now I am considering coming back in the field. Meanwhile I didn't do anything so would like to brush up little. So trying to learn/practice things again. Just didn't have much luck with Tala and composing korvais.
Can somebody help me with that? I am hoping to get back on track and would love to continue with my dream of being on stage again

Thank you for reading this.
Mansi
