	Does anyone here listen to Carnatic music (the classical music of South India)? I'm trying to get into it at the moment, although not having been formally taught and thus not understanding many of the crucial technical aspects makes it difficult to appreciate properly. There are compositions in all four major Dravidian languages (although Malayalam ones are a bit rare) as well as Sanskrit, so it is something that learners should definitely check out. I would post some links to songs on YouTube, but I'm not sure if that is allowed. Edited by Kannan on 29 September 2011 at 12:27pm 1 person has voted this message useful

	Hi, I liked BMK's rendition of 'vatapi ganpatim' in hamsadhwani? I prefer Hindustani khyal though, probably because I can understand the words. Do you listen to khyal too? Best, Napoleon EDIT: fixed a typo :) Edited by napoleon on 30 September 2011 at 9:39am 1 person has voted this message useful

	I have listened to a few khyal pieces, but I think I prefer dhrupad (especially when played on the Rudra Veena). I'm not hugely into BMK. I like his rendition of "Sadhinchene" and some other kritis, but for "Vatapi Ganapatim", you really need to listen to Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar's version.
