  • Palghat Mani Iyer.Pdf
    COVER STORY Palghat T.S. Mani Iyer (1912-1981) Sriram.V ometime in the 17th century, a Raja of Palghat is said to have invited many Brahmin families Sbelonging to the Tanjavur region to his principality. They were to inculcate learning and culture in the area. These families settled in 96 villages of Palghat district and greatly enriched the place. Many of their descendants rose to high positions in administration, business and other walks of life. Several shone as musicians. But the man who was to prefix the name of the district to his own name and make it synonymous with percussion was Mani Iyer, the mridanga maestro. Palghat T.S. Mani Iyer was born on 12th June 1912 at Pazhayanur, Tiruvilvamala Taluk, in Palghat District to Sesham Bhagavatar and Anandambal as their second son. The couple had many children of whom some died early with only two sons (Mani Iyer and a younger brother) and two daughters surviving into adulthood. Sesham Bhagavatar was a vocalist in the Harikatha troupe of Mukkai Sivaramakrishna Bhagavatar, a famous exponent of the art form. Mani was christened Ramaswami at birth— after his grandfather who was a school teacher besides being a good singer. Destined as it seemed Mani Iyer was to acquire fame Young Mani in the field of percussion, the forces that control fates could not have selected a better place for his birth. Tiruvilvamala, a village on the southern side of the Born for the Mridanga Bharatapuzha river, was well known for its Panchavadyam performers. ‘Maddalam’ Venkicchan and Konthai were famed practitioners of the percussive arts.

  • An Evening of Indian Classical Music
    INTERNATIONAL CENTRE GOA Organises An Evening of Indian Classical Music For the Faculty and Students of College of William & Mary, USA Sunday, 8 June 2008 at 6:30 – 8:00 pm Venue: MANDOVI Hall, The International Centre, Goa, Dona Paula, Goa 403004 PROGRAMME Welcome by M Rajaretnam, Director/ Chief Executive, International Centre Goa Introduction of the Jugalbandi Dr. Anupam Sarkar and artists by Jugalbandi of Sitar by Shri Manab Das, and Flute by Shri Sonik Arvind Velingkar Accompanied on Tabla by Shri Ulhas Velingkar Compere: Ms. Soma Bhattacharya ------------------------------------------- A jugalbandi (also spelled jugalbandhi ) is a performance, in Indian classical music, featuring two solo musicians. The word jugalbandhi means, literally, “Entwined twins”. Often, the musicians will play different instruments, as for example the famous duets between sitarist Ravi Shankar and sarod player Ali Akbar Khan, who popularized the format with their performances of the 1970s. More rarely, the musicians (either vocalists or instrumentalists) may be from different traditions (i.e. Carnatic music and Hindustani classical music). What defines jugalbandhi is that the two soloists be on an equal footing. While any Indian music performance may feature two musicians, a performance can only be deemed a jugalbandhi if neither is clearly the soloist and neither clearly an accompanist. In jugalbandhi , both musicians act as lead players, and a playful competition often ensues between the two performers.
