In both systems the performer tries to make the raga \"characteristic of the emotion it seeks to establish\" through improvisation-and with the \"72 basic scales and more than 500 derived forms\" that are available within the South Indian raga system, the performer has a wealth of options. Liner notes include an overview of the South Indian musical system; descriptions of traditional instruments such as the gottuvuadyam, mridugam, and tambura; track notes with notated musical analysis; and pictures of the performers and instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Vocals (Adi Tala) - Varna: Shankaraburana \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Vocals (Adi Tala) - Kruti: Bhairavi Raga \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Instrumentals (Adi Tala) - Hatha Raga \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Instrumentals (Adi Tala) - Raga Malica with Tilana\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gayathri Rajapur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32432367796295,"sku":"16936669","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1505868.jpg?v=1747362118","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/gayathri-rajapur-ragas-from-south-india","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
