MALI-FLUTE,CHEMBAI-VIOLIN,MAHARAJAPURAM-MRUDHANGAM!Amazing Jam Session with 3 Geniuses – Mali, Chembai, MVI

Post by RSR »

Stumbled upon these tube uploads by chance just now. ...."This was one of 3 concerts that took place (most likely in the 1950s). These three multi-talented musicians exchanged roles as lead performer, violinist and percussionist. Maharajapuram Viswantatha Iyes appears quite talented as a mrdangam player, as does Chembai as a violin player. Mali is said to have once remarked that he was a better violinst than a flutist! It is apparent that all three musicians are relaxed and having great fun. Such an atmosphere often produces the best music. Throughout this concert, Mali is amazing and produces some superlative creative moments. You can hear the “oohs” and “aahs” from MVI who is egging him on.
