Bharatanatyam Margam by Rajee Narayan
During the centenary celebrations of Sri Subramania Bharati, Guru Rajee Narayan selected appropriate songs written by the great poet and merged them into the margam format. That is, she introduced the traditional items, Alarippu, Jatiswaram, Sabdam, Varnam and Tillana, using popular Bharatiyar songs. This full margam was presented at Sri Shanmukhananda Fine Arts and Sangeetha Sabha, Mumbai, for a local cultural organization. In some songs, the popular ragas have been maintained. Some songs have been tuned by Guru Rajee, who has also choreographed the dances and recorded the music. This audio CD of Bharatiyar’s songs is a compilation that will prove useful to both, singers and dancers.
