Step into the serene embrace of dawn with Raag Ramkali, a majestic morning raga rooted in the Bhairav thaat, performed live at the Darbar Festival 2013. This was a landmark moment — the UK debut of Manjusha Kulkarni-Patil, one of the finest torchbearers of the Hindustani classical tradition.
Raag Ramkali is a devotional and introspective raga, often associated with the stillness and philosophical depth of early morning hours. Manjusha ji's rendition is both meditative and soul-stirring — an elegant blend of powerful vocal artistry and emotional expression. Her performance is firmly rooted in tradition, yet vibrant with her own unique aesthetic sensibility.
This intimate concert, held in the heart of London’s cultural district, brought together seasoned accompanists — with Tanmay Deochake's sensitive harmonium, Akram Khan’s masterful tabla, and the drone-rich backdrop provided by Priya Sharma and Unatti Dasgupta on tanpura — completing a truly immersive listening experience.
🌅 Whether you’re a lifelong rasika or a curious newcomer to Indian classical music, this performance invites you to slow down, reflect, and connect with something timeless.
