Description:
The Taanam is influenced in many ways by Jod playing/singing in Hindustani music. I try to mix the carnatic gaamakas with the North-Indian Meend type of note inflections. The meend interpretation on the Veena is quite chllenging since involves extensive pulling from a single note; here I derive a great deal of inspiration from SB.
