Unnai Allal by Padmashri Awardee Sangita Kalanidhi Smt. Aruna Sairam

Composed by Papanasam Sivan, ‘Unnai allal’ is a beautiful song in Kalyani Ragam. This clip is from Jaya TV Margazhi Maha Utsavam, 2009, an event organised by Subhashree Thanikachalam.

Through the song, the composer is pleading with the divine mother to allow him to end his role in the theatre of life and to let him rest.

I was accompanied by HN Bhaskar on Violin, J Vaidyanathan on Mridangam, S Karthick on Ghatam.
