Testing, testing (in honour of Lord Rama).

I’m trying to figure out the best way of sharing audio on this blog. I just signed up to a website that hosts free media content, but I can’t upload much. Oh well. The search continues. For now, here’s an old recording of the bhajan ‘Sri Rama’. I’m playing it on our piano in the garden a few years ago. I love listening to it and noticing the sounds in the background. With the shed door open, you can hear the afternoon birdsong and my brother and sister playing on the trampoline. Sounds of summer.

The bhajan is in Raga Yaman, a Hindustani raga similar to the Carnatic ragam, Kalyani. I played it a little clumsily, but I think it is still a beautiful tune.

Here it is: Sri Rama by Tulsidas
