Chitravina N. Ravikiran, the name needs no introduction; being the architect of the genre of Melharmony, this man is the true example of musical brilliance and artistic creativity. Famously known as the Mozart of Indian music, this man composed the exclusive ‘Tillana-Behag’, by fusing tillana-mangalam in the backdrop of the Indian raga Behag on the almighty Ganesha. The second syllable rhyme, pivoting ‘zhai’ is the driving force behind the mystic impact of the entire musical arrangement. Performed live at SPIC MACAY International Convention, IIT Madras with famous musicians, like Padma Shankar, Patri Satishkumar, Ghatam Karthick, Purushottaman, and Veenai Sivakumar, this track speaks why the man is rated as such a high-quality musician.
This auspicious offering to Lord Ganesha has all the elements of divinity and the soul-soaking rhythms took my heart and soul on a divine journey that I can never forget. The son and disciple of revolutionary arts educator Chitravina Narasimhan, N. Ravikiran is a musical wonder and his creative and unique approach to the genre of classical music can be well-observed through ‘Tillana-Behag’. Having won many awards and performed at international stages, this man is the legacy bearer of Indian music and pride of the nation. This harmonically-rich musical piece deserves 4.8 stars on the rating meter.
