Jagajjanani by Padmashri Awardee Sangita Kalanidhi Smt. Aruna Sairam

Today on the last Friday of Aaadi month and I am presenting the song Jagajjanani in Ratipatipriya ragam, a very well-loved song of my rasjikas. The words and the melody of this wonderful song have the power of captivating the audience right from the first note. The video is from a program for Margazhi Maha Utsavam Jaya TV organised by Subhashree Thasnikachalam.

Aruna is grateful for the training she received under her mother Rajalakshmi Sethuraman and the legendary T. Brinda, and the mentorship from several masters throughout her musical journey. Her music erased geographic borders when she was the first to incorporate Abhang, a Western Indian musical form, into a traditional, South Indian concert.
