A rare Pallavi from Radha-Jayalakshmi | Thodi | Tribute to CP Radha.

This is a rare, truly stunning recording featuring one half of the Radha Jayalakshmi duo—one of carnatic music's unsung pairs who consistently avoided the limelight.

This upload is a small tribute to CP Radha, who passed away just last week.

Listen to the absolute mastery of manodharmam on display here: the shruthi shuddham, the crystal-clear bhriga shuddham, and the perfect laya shuddham are all breathtaking. They were truly exquisite artists who deserved much more recognition for their immense talent.

I have no idea where I found this recording, who the accompanists are, or even where the earlier bit of ragam is, but this is pure musical bliss. Just close your eyes and enjoy this super rare find!
