JA Jayant and Nandini Shankar’s flute and violin jugalbandi hit all the high notes
The HinduTo enjoy and appreciate a Hindustani-Carnatic jugalbandhi, a rasika should almost become a part of both schools’ individual and integrated styles. Here, more than the sahitya or lyrics, what matters are the music, raga, phrases and their inherent charm, scope for elaboration, creativity, and above all, a profound knowledge of the melodies chosen and presented. Nandini Shankar’s grandmother Rajam is a well-known Hindustani violinist. The two talented players’ expeditions were remarkable — the grand finale saw a thunderous applause from the audience. One, with raag Misra Peelu in Hindustani and Kapi in Carnatic through the popular ‘Raghupathi Raghava Rajaram’, and the other in Bhairav in Hindustani and Sindhubairavi in Carnatic with Purandaradasar’s ‘Tamburi meetidava’.
