Product description

Shankar's "Pancha Nadai Pallavi," released on May 1, 1990, under ECM Records, is a captivating journey into the rich tapestry of Tamil pop and Kollywood music. This album, spanning 59 minutes, is a testament to Shankar's mastery of traditional and contemporary sounds, seamlessly blending them into a harmonious whole. The title track, "Pancha Nadai Pallavi," showcases the artist's prowess in the Ragam Tanam Pallavi format, a classical Carnatic music form that highlights intricate melodic improvisation and rhythmic complexity. With tracks like "Ragam: Sankarabharanam," Shankar delves into the depths of the Sankarabharanam raga, a melodic scale known for its evocative and soulful qualities. The album's use of the Mahalakshmi Tala, with its unique 9 1/2 beat cycle, adds a layer of rhythmic sophistication that sets it apart. "Pancha Nadai Pallavi" is not just an album; it's an exploration of cultural heritage and artistic innovation, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of Tamil music.

This LP was released in 1990.

  • Healing Through Music

    5 out of 5 stars
    arzizufzteJuly 6, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Without a doubt, a perfect 10. For around 25 years, this (well, actually two tracks) has been among my top four or five beloved musical pieces. There were moments when it was my sole lifeline. When my mom passed away so suddenly in 2002, I'd listen to 'Talam: Mahalakshi Tala -- 9 1/2 Beats' at max volume through my headphones during my morning subway commute to work. This and another album (The Deepest Seat, by Anthony Curtis) were the only music that could lift me out of my sorrow or somehow turn my grief into pure joy. Wishing peace and joy to whoever reads this.

When my mom passed away so suddenly in 2002, I'd blast "Talam: Mahalakshi Tala -- 9 1/2 Beats" in my headphones during my morning subway commute. This and another album (The Deepest Seat, by Anthony Curtis) were the only music that could lift me from my sorrow or somehow turn my grief into pure happiness.
