Synopsis

Product Description
Into the Raga is an exquisite
collection of ragas (melodic modes)
and their many hues. The emotion
of each raga on this album is seen
and heard through the lovely
alapanas (extempore melodic
improvisations), majestic thanam
(pulsating melodic improvisations),
and fire-powered swara prastharas
(rhythmic improvisations in defined
modes and rhythm meters) all
supporting the beautiful poetry of
the compositions.
From Bangalore to Bloomington,
Madras to Minnesota, Nirmala
Rajasekar has captivated
audiences around the world for
three decades. A recent recipient of
a Bush Artist Fellowship and the
first Indian musician to win the
McKnight Fellowship for Performing
Artists, she has now followed her
previous innova release, Song of
the Veena (INN214) with a new
scintillating journey to the center of
the raga
