Amrit Ramnath: ‘Though I respond to other forms, Carnatic music is my core’
The Hindu
The young musician, whose latest musical video Sumiran has garnered attention online, says he realised a few years ago that music had to be his life’s journey
Amrit Ramnath clearly doesn’t think much of the canons of the music world: in his realm, music is many, and to conform to one means losing out on several others. Son and disciple of the illustrious musician Bombay Jayashri, Amrit is unmistakably influenced by his mother-guru, even as he bears a striking resemblance to her and her singing. Soft-spoken, sincere and passionate, Amrit has a multi-pronged interest in music. Carnatic music surely forms his core, but he doesn’t carry it everywhere — neither in terms of his personal aesthetics nor with respect to music. He recasts himself as the context demands, but what remains a constant in each of his ventures is his desire to give the best. Sumiran, his latest musical video, is a shabad by Guru Nanak, set to a charming tune in raag Yaman, and shot at an equally charming locale. Both music and video have garnered attention online.More Related News
