Dear friends,
Sutra Foundation was delighted to be invited to perform Odissi for the Malaysia International Carnatic Music Festival 2023 in Ipoh, Perak presented by Sugam Culture & Heritage Foundation.
As we’ve just had an intensive workshop on the Kelucharan Mohapatra style of Odissi conducted by the Rudrakshya dancers Santosh Ram and Samir Panigrahi, we decided to perform two classic compositions of Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra – the Mangalacharan (Namami) and the Sankarabaranam Pallavi.
The music recording of both items are of interest as they were the vintage recording sung by the late Raghunath Panigrahi – rather challenging for the dancers as these vintage recordings are rendered in amazing speed apparently performed with ease by the late Sanjukta Panigrahi.
