Mari Vere (Raga Latangi - Jhampa Talam)

\"Mari Vere\" is a Carnatic music composition performed by Dr. N. Ramani in Raga Latangi set to Jhampa Talam. The track appears as the third piece on the album Homage To Guru \"Mali\", released by Saregama India Ltd. in an unspecified year. The album format is a commercial CD under the Saregama label.

Dr. N. Ramani presents the composition with flute as the primary instrument. The recording captures his interpretation of the raga, characterized by its shadava-sampurna structure (omitting ga in ascent and including all seven notes in descent). The choice of Jhampa Talam (a 10-beat cycle) provides a rhythmic foundation for the melodic elaboration. The album title references Ramani’s tribute to his guru, though specific details about \"Mali\" remain undocumented in the provided context.

The tracklist sequence places \"Mari Vere\" as Track 3, suggesting a deliberate progression within the album’s thematic or technical framework. Saregama India Ltd. distributed the CD, aligning with the label’s history of preserving and promoting Indian classical music. No additional information exists in the given context regarding the recording location, accompanying artists, or production personnel. The composition’s lyrical content, if any, is not specified.

Dr. N. Ramani (1934–2015) was a prominent exponent of the Bambay Sisters’ bani (style) of flute playing and a recipient of the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award (1985) and Padma Bhushan (2005). His discography includes collaborations with major Indian labels, with Homage To Guru \"Mali\" representing one of his later recorded works under Saregama. The album’s release date is not confirmed in the available context.
