When I was in Bombay Chembai used to come to Kannada School at Wadala and I never missed his Katcheri. Very great. No doubt, he is Jambavan in Carnatic Music. Hare Krishna.
Truly a classic - however many times you listen to this, the next time you do, it still strikes you as NOVEL!!! he demonstrates that strict classical adherence to the swara and the tala is enough to convey the full sentiment of the music and the composition - no need for "ghoshti" or affectations! Indeed a deathless classic!!!
Yes it has so much scope for alapanai and improvizations(manodharma) but it is not rare. It is very ancient with so many countless songs, knoen and unknown.
Chembai Vaidyanadha Bhagavadhar is the doyen of Carnatic Music. I have seen him personally in a marriage function where he gave a performance. I like his style of singing similar to Sri Yesudas. God bless him and keep his music ringing in people’s ear for ever.
Super performance by Mr.Chembai Iyer. Thanks again for your perusal.Excellent performance.Funtadtic and marvelous.Congrats. Thanks again. The accompanists are also very much appreciated.S. Madhavan. Thanks.
Oh He was a great human soul of pure elements heavenly Music and a voice of special quality. His statue should replace those of useless crooks politicians in all south Indian states.
I remember my father telling me, once when MSG and TVG were accompanying him for this song, he sang "Thaye Yeshoda ......Inda randu Gopalaskrishnan sheyyum jalatai keladi". In my house, it was mostly Chembai concerts on cassettes, during my years of growing up.
എല്ലാം തികഞ്ഞ ആ മഹാ ഗുരുവിൻറെ ആലാപനത്തെ പറ്റി പറയാൻ ഞാൻ ആളല്ല. പക്ഷേ എനിക്ക് വളരെ അഭിമാനത്തോടെ പറയാൻ കഴിയും ഞാൻ ആ മഹാ ഗുരുവിൻറെ നാട്ടുകാരനാണെന്ന്. എൻറെ അച്ഛൻറെ ആത്മ സുഹൃത്തും കൂടിയാണ് അദ്ദേഹം. ഈ ആലാപനത്തിൽ കൂടി ഭഗവാൻ ശ്രീകൃഷ്ണൻറെ ഒരോ ലീലകളും മിന്നി മറയുന്നു. ആ മഹാ ഗുരു വിന്നാ ആയിരം പ്റണാമം.

இவரின் வரலாறு படித்ததில், ஒரு முறை கச்சேரியில் ஒருவர் கேட்டதாகவும் அம்ரித வர்ஷனி பாடினால் மழை வரும் என்பது பற்றி. அந்த இடத்திலேயே இவர் பாடி மழை பெய்ததாக ஆதாரம் உள்ளது. இவரின் சங்கீதத்தில் வருணன் வந்த நிகழ்வு என்பது ஒன்று போதாதா இவரின் சங்கீதம் போற்ற.

What Can one Comment about the Maestros Rendition Simply Relax Listen and Enjoy ! My comment is in three parts Please go through all and Correct for any mistakes Thaye Yasoda Ragam Todi 8th Mela Adi talam Oothukadu Venkatakavi Krithi ‘Mother Yashoda’ to the Gopikas, the ladies of the cowherd community, to Krishna’s mother, ‘Mother Yashoda, there isn’t a boy in this world like your son! Whew!’. ‘Thinking he is a young boy, I hugged him - instead, he kissed me on the mouth as if he were my husband! I am so embarrassed to talk of this publicly!’ ‘The other day he stopped me to ask for directions and when I gave it, he then asked for kiss and that too loudly! Mother Yashoda, you have brought up your son badly!’ ‘He asked for butter and when I gave it, he winked at me and asked for my daughter!!’ The poet-composer, Venkata Subbaiyar (c.1700-1765) of Oothukadu, describes in beautiful Tamil the litany of complaints against a young and very naughty Krishna. What imagination! How the poet plays with words! How very rhythmic! This superb composition is an old favourite with Carnatic music fans as well as Bharatanatyam fans as the song suits this dance form very well. Krishna and his flirtations are depicted in Jayadeva’s (c.1200 AD) Gita Govinda in a far more explicit manner. Hindusim accepts erotic-mysticism as one of the many valid paths towards God. This is in keeping with an important symbolism in Hinduism : God as the masculine Purusha and the feminine principle, Prakrithi, being all of creation. Poets expressed this in romantic ways, but the idea was the same i.e. the longing of the feminine principle for the masculine representing the longing of us human beings to be united with God, the man-woman union representing the human-God union. Coming back to Thaye Yashoda, the poet says in the last charanam (stanza) : ‘Yashoda, he is That God! When I picked him as a child and put him on my lap to admire his beautiful face, he opened his mouth and showed me the whole universe within it!’, establishing the symbolism in no uncertain fashion. The song is set to the beautiful raga Todi. Its interesting to me that Todi, a deep and mysterious raga which is a ‘heavy’ raga and tests the singers mettle, is in this case used for a playfully worded song Chittaswaram:- Aaa..aaa....Na..nana..Naa... Na...nAaa...naaaa...Na.....na nana naa na..na re.. na na na na..ra na na.. aa... Sa sa sa ri ri sassa sa sa ri ri Sa sa sa ni sa ri sa ni sa ri sa ni sa ri sa ni ni sa da da Da da ri ri ri ri ri ri ri niri niri ga ri Ni ga ri ni ni ni da ni da ma ma da ma gari ri Aaa Aaa....
Sri chembai vaidhyanatha Bhagavathat the name I itself gives a long lost sweet memorray of this Great Master.Nobody can sing like him so melodiously He is great.
When I was in Bombay Chembai used to come to Kannada School at Wadala and I never missed his Katcheri. Very great. No doubt, he is Jambavan in Carnatic Music. Hare Krishna.
I also grew up in Wadala - Usha bldg, opp SIWS school
I thought he is Chembai in karnatic music, not a sloth or monkey.
When it was ? Which year ?
He was very witty too
Truly a classic - however many times you listen to this, the next time you do, it still strikes you as NOVEL!!! he demonstrates that strict classical adherence to the swara and the tala is enough to convey the full sentiment of the music and the composition - no need for "ghoshti" or affectations!
