Bhoop ~ Uttaranga Pradhaan Nyaasam
I was in Eranakulam in BTH [ Bharat Tourist Home ]. I had some visitors! One who was an ex-naxalbari-christian (i suppose) said he did not know to identify raaga-s but liked Indian music ! He claimed he had met illustrious musicians. I hesitantly demonstrated an Aalap in Ananda Bhairavi [ It was Sandhya ]. He asked me if I could sing Mohanam. I did not. But next morning I was overflowing with Bhoop with a Mohanam Bhaavam. I was singing for long and later decided I may record what is left. The Tampura is too resonant and loud . But Bhoop may be discerned in its Dhvani.
I had sung the poorva-ang for long and so here it is uttarang pradhaan portion that is recorded~
Please note it is closer to bhoop than mohanam ! mohanam is a slightly different platform !
