Dancing on the Moon

Mahaleela is a studio album by Indian percussionist Sivamani, released in December 2008 under the label KKVM. The album follows a fusion format that integrates elements of Indian classical music with contemporary rhythms and instrumentation. The primary medium of release was CD.

The album opens with the track Dancing on the Moon, positioned as the first composition on the record. The piece spans a duration of 4 minutes and 55 seconds. Sivamani composed and performed the percussion arrangements, blending traditional Indian rhythmic patterns with modern production techniques. The track exemplifies the album’s broader stylistic approach, though specific details about contributing instrumentalists or vocalists remain undocumented in available sources.

Critical and commercial reception of Mahaleela is not extensively recorded, and the album’s distribution scope outside India is unclear. The label KKVM operated within the Tamil and Carnatic music circuits during the late 2000s, though further catalog or corporate details are not publicly verified. No subsequent reissues or digital remasters of the album have been confirmed as of the latest updates.

Sivamani’s work on Mahaleela aligns with his broader discography, which frequently explores cross-genre collaborations. The album contributes to his repertoire of percussion-centric projects released between 2000 and 2010, a period marked by experiments in world fusion and film soundtrack contributions.
