CARNA/DAKSHINA - Winds & Percussions of South India

<p>Carna/Dakshina is a musical offering... In an Indian way!</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/547132/Carna_Dakshina_Studio_1-1539097472.jpeg" width="100%" /></p> <p>This musical project combines 4 musicians of the Carnatic tradition renowned in the South of India and more particularly in the state of Kerala.&nbsp;<br /> I had the opportunity to work with 3 of them during the project &quot;Madhura Sopnam&quot;, which permitted the meeting of traditional musicians from&nbsp;Kerala with French musicians and&nbsp;improvisers.&nbsp;After a decade, I thought about gathering some of them in an unconventional&nbsp;configuration, with the son of the Nāgaswaram player O.K. Subramanian, Hariprasad, that became today a leading figure of&nbsp;South Indian&nbsp;flute.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/547244/Carna_Dakshina_Studio_4-1539115153.jpeg" width="100%" /></p> <p>It&#39;s a meeting of 2 nearby musical practices, as the group is composed of a double duet, each one including a melodic wind instrument accompanied by a percussion. Nāgaswaram (carnatic oboe) and Thavil (percussion), on one hand, are more associated to the temple ceremonies, more often played outdoor, in a form of declamation, while the Venu (carnatic flute) and Mridangam (percussion), are played in more intimist, indoor forms.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/547240/Carna_Dakshina_Studio_3-1539114429.jpeg" width="100%" /></p> <p>The idea of gathering all these instruments was to play with the various subtleties inherent to these various styles, practiced upon a common dialect. The result is striking, virtuoso, jubilant, fascinating, following the example of this music which deserves to be more known by the western listeners.</p> <script src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/4a3c6162/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
