About Rama Rama Enniro
Rama Rama Enniro is a studio album of Carnatic flute music performed by Dr. N. Ramani, a prominent exponent of the bamboo flute in Indian classical tradition. The recording features nine tracks of vocal-based kritis (compositions) adapted for the flute, accompanied by traditional percussion and melodic support. The album title derives from the opening phrase of its fourth track, a composition in Vasantha raga set to Rupaka tala.
Dr. N. Ramani released the album in an unspecified year under an official label, though the exact publisher remains undocumented in available sources. The repertoire spans multiple ragas, including Hamsadhwani, Bhairavi, Ananda Bhairavi, Revathi, Bheem Pallas, Kalyana Vasantha, and Jonpuri. The compositions draw from the works of notable Carnatic composers, with several tracks structured in Adi tala, a common rhythmic cycle in South Indian classical music.
The tracklist includes Gajavadana Beduve in Adi tala (Hamsadhwani), Odibarayya in Adi tala (Bhairavi), and Mandamathiya Jhampe in Hamsadhwani. The title track Rama Rama Enniro appears as the fourth piece, followed by Ramanama Payasa in Ananda Bhairavi (Rupaka tala). Additional tracks include Nanenu Madidenu (Revathi), Nageya Baruthide (Bheem Pallas), Sulabha Pujeya Maadi in Khandachapu tala (Kalyana Vasantha), and Rama Manthrava Japiso (Jonpuri).
The album exemplifies Dr. N. Ramani’s interpretive style, characterized by precise phrasing and adherence to the gayaki (vocal) tradition of flute playing. Accompaniment details, such as supporting artists or instrumentalists, are not specified in the available context. The format of the original release—whether LP, cassette, or CD—remains unconfirmed, though later reissues may exist in digital and physical media.
Dr. N. Ramani’s contributions to Carnatic flute music earned him recognition as a leading performer of the 20th century. This album reflects his repertoire’s emphasis on devotional and classical themes, aligning with the broader bhakti (devotional) tradition in Carnatic compositions.
