Evari Mata (Raga Kambhoji - Adi Talam)

Homage To Guru \"Mali\" is a studio album of Carnatic flute music performed by Dr. N. Ramani. Saregama India Ltd. released the recording on compact disc. The album pays tribute to Ramani’s guru, T. R. Mahalingam (known as \"Mali\"), a prominent flautist of the 20th century. The release date remains undocumented in available sources.

The album features traditional Carnatic compositions rendered on the bamboo flute. Track 4, titled \"Evari Mata\", is set in Raga Kambhoji and Adi Talam, a rhythmic cycle of eight beats. The composition follows the kriti format, a structured form in Carnatic music combining lyricism with improvisational elements. Ramani’s interpretation emphasizes the raga’s characteristic phrases, including the gamaka-laden ascents and descents typical of Kambhoji. Accompaniment details for this track are not specified in the provided context.
