This wonderful 3 LP Box in  concert format with one of my absolute favourite singers should more than make up for the last couple of days “missing” posts. I had forgotten to set the dates right of a few pre-edited posts and as I was rather busy I am sorry to say I forgot to check. I am still busy so please excuse my inattentiveness that may go on for another couple of weeks. I will still try to post regularly but if there is a couple of days missing now and then I hope you understand.
So excuse my sparse comments, but I am sure I will be forgiven as soon as you start listening to these records! I Hope you enjoy!

Karaikudi R. Mani, mridangam

I cannot resists continuing to post M.S. Subbulaksmi's Devotional repertoire and this one is one of the first records I bought by M.S. Subbulakshmi. And like the good Arvind said before when discussing some of the songs presented here:

"It's very rare to come across a bhajan in Urdu, the language which evolved in the courts of the erstwhile princely state of Awadh, what is now Lucknow, in Uttar Pradesh. It's the language in which Ghazals are written, and often Qawwalis too, but listening to an Urdu bhajan is a real treat!

On this record there is also a very young Karaikudi R. Mani playing the mridangam, but after this and maybe, maybe just one more and then there will be Carnatic classical concerts and soon I will go back to mixing music from all over, there will be some more South East Asia, Oceania and some more following Deben Bhattachariya around. OK...
