We saw about Ghatam already. Let us now watch a very interesting Ghatam Ensemble termed as “Pongal With Ghee”. This is a five Ghatam Ensemble performed by the following artists.
- Ganesh Murthi
- Sachin Deviprasad
- R P Ravi Shankar
- Srinidhi R Koundinya
- Sumana Chandrashekhar
The composition is an interplay of Chaturasra ( 4 ) and Tisra ( 3 ). The arrangement of notes is an attempt to explore harmony and melody on this instrument. This piece was created for Sankranti. They have chosen the 21st melakarta raga Keeravani as their anchor raga. The Ghatam Ensemble was recorded by Saitejas Chandrashekar.
Enjoy this piece and amazing sound of Ghatam.
