Pakkala Nilabadi - Karaharapriya

For a long time only half of Pakkala nilabadi was available among MMI devotees. The song would abruptly end in the middle of Swarams. When we had given up resigned to our fate, we got a break and this full version was aired at a FM station named Raga 24/7. How/ where it came from we have no idea but we can only thank them and the station for us finally having the full rendition of the Kriti.

Of the rendition itself what to say? Pakkala nilabadi has been sung by many different artists in many different ways, In pure Carnatic style, Western style, fusion etc but when Madurai Mani Iyer renders this Kriti, it immediately becomes the benchmark!! nothing else to say, enjoy!
