Bhairavi - Ragam Tanam
About Bhairavi - Ragam Tanam
Bhairavi – Ragam Tanam is a Carnatic vocal performance recorded live during the December Season 2005 and released in 2005 under the label Charsur Digital Workstation. The track appears as the seventh entry on the album, with a duration of 32 minutes and 13 seconds.
The composition features vocalist Unnikrishnan as the primary artist. The performance adheres to the traditional ragam-tanam-pallavi structure, a hallmark of Carnatic concert repertoire, with an emphasis on the Bhairavi raga. The recording captures the improvisational and expansive nature of the form, typical of live classical presentations during the Margazhi music season in Chennai.
The release format is digital media, distributed by Charsur Digital Workstation, a label known for archiving and disseminating Carnatic music recordings. The album title, if distinct from the seasonal reference, remains undocumented in available sources. No additional details regarding accompanying artists, specific concert venue, or production personnel are provided in the existing context.
The track exemplifies the alaapana (ragam), tanam (rhythmic syllabic exploration), and potential neraval or kalpana swaram segments characteristic of Bhairavi renditions. The performance duration reflects the elaborate treatment reserved for major ragas in classical concerts, though the absence of a published setlist or liner notes limits further description of its structural components.
