Legendary violinist N. Rajam (sister of TN Krishnan, aunt of Kala Ramnath, mother of Sangeeta Shankar, all famous violinists) plays morning raga Miyan Ki Todi. On tabla: Ramkumar Mishra. Notice the beautiful morning surroundings: an old temple complex at the banks of the Ganges, boats on the river and birds chilping in the background - beautiful poetic scene from the documentary film 'Benares, musiques du Gange' (Yves Billon, 1992 ; France). After many years of studying with legendary singer Omkarnath Thakur, N. Rajam completely revolutionized violin playing in North Indian Hindustani music by introducing a new vocal (gayaki) style of playing. It was allowed to download this file from the website of Patrick Moutal, a scholar in Indian Classical Music.
