Darbari Kanada | Raagams on Veena | Vidushi Bhagyalakshmi Chandrasekhar

Vidushi Bhagyalakshmi Chandrasekhar is playing Raag Darbari Kanada on Veena along with her disciple Aadi Vasudevan.

According to Wikipedia:

"Darbari Kanada, or simply Raga Darbari, (pronounced darbāri kānada), is a raga in the Kanada family, which is thought to have originated in Carnatic music and brought into Hindustani classical music by Miyan Tansen, the legendary 16th-century composer in emperor Akbar's court.

Darbari is a grave raga, played deep into the night, considered to be one of the more difficult to master, and with the potential for profound emotional impact.

Darbari is a very serious raga and hence, slow and elaborate meend and andolan are generally preferred over light and frivolous ornamentations like murki or khatka. The improvisation of Darbari is done more in the mandra saptak, or lower octave."
