raag Miyan Ki Todi by N. Rajam

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajtglYDxIxs

Legendary violinist N. Rajam (sister of TN Krishnan, aunt of Kala Ramnath, mother of Sangeeta Shankar, all famous violinists) playing the morning raga Miyan Ki Todi (notice the beautiful morning surroundings: an old temple complex at the banks of the Ganges, boats on the river and birds chilping in the background) in a beautiful poetic scene from the documentary film 'Benares, musiques du Gange' (Yves Billon, 1992 ; France). After many years of studying with legendary singer Omkarnath Thakur, N. Rajam completely revolutionized violin playing in North Indian Hindusthani music by introducing a new vocal (gayaki) style of playing.
