«Thodayam» at Khushi Festival (10/05/2013)
Aquí tenéis una parte de una de mis actuaciones con Sohinimoksha. «Thodayam» significa «primera canción», es un «pushpanjali» o una «ofrenda de flores con las manos juntas» a la divinidad, al gurú, a los músicos y al público, que sirve para abrir el repertorio de bharatanatyam y que las bailarinas calienten.
Espero que os guste aunque no podáis ver con detalle las expresiones faciales debido a la calidad de la grabación… 😉
English version:
Here you have a part of one of my performances with Sohinimoksha, «Thodayam» means «first song», a «pushpanjali» or «offering of flowers with folded hands» to the Divinity -the Lord of dance Nataraja-, the guru, the musicians and the audience. It is a classical piece of the bharatanatyam repertoires that opens the performance and is used to warm up.
Hope you like it even though you can’t appreciate the expressions in detail due to the recording quality… Enjoy 😉
Love,
Maia
