Madrasil Margazhi 2006

Madrasil Margazhi is a Carnatic vocal music album by Bombay Jayashri. The artist released the album in 2007 under the label Rajalakshmi Audio. The recording captures a live performance from the 2006 Margazhi Music Festival in Chennai, a prominent annual event in the Indian classical music calendar.

The album adopts a CD format and contains ten tracks. The repertoire spans traditional compositions, devotional songs and a Ragam Tanam Pallavi in the raga Mohanam. The selection includes works by composers such as Tyagaraja, Syama Sastri and Oothukkadu Venkata Kavi. Notable tracks feature Gananathane in raga Nata, Munduvenuga in raga Vasanta, Sri Matrubhutam in raga Kambhoji and Mayamma in raga Ahiri. The album also presents Sri Raghuvara Sugunalaya in raga Kapi, Maara Vairi Ramani in raga Khamas and Hari Tum Haro in raga Jonpuri. A Tamil composition Kanne Yen Kanmaniye in raga Shanmukhapriya and a Thillana in raga Kuntalavarali conclude the tracklist.

Bombay Jayashri performs as the primary vocalist. Accompaniment details remain partially undocumented in available sources, though Carnatic concerts of this nature typically include violin, mridangam and tambura support. The album reflects the Margazhi season’s emphasis on classical renditions, improvisational segments and thematic devotional content.

The 2007 release date aligns with the post-festival distribution period common for live recordings from the December music season. Rajalakshmi Audio, the producing label, specializes in Carnatic music publications and has issued works by other leading artists in the genre. No additional editions or re-releases of Madrasil Margazhi are confirmed in public records as of the latest available information.
