This is a unique Album, specially compiled to celebrate the Centenary of the Legend, Palghat T.S.Mani Iyer. It showcases the Mridangam genius accompanying great Vidwans of his time in a unique "MARGAM" from Varnam to Mangalam. Featured also are 7 Tani-Avartanams that bring out the splendour of the great master's awesome artistry and virtuosity. All the pieces chosen for the album are from rare "Live" recordings available with Sri Mani Iyer's family, and a few from close friends. It must be appreciated here that most, if not all of these recordings are from concerts in the '60-s and '70-s, when such facilities were rudimentary. A sincere attempt has been made to eliminate ambient sounds, crackles and glitches to enhance your listening pleasure. These recordings are not easily available and more so not in this format So, do enjoy the experience, as you yield to the joy and magic of the Maestro's nada, laya, and manodharma.
