SUMMARY:The Kutcheri in the Cinema Hall: The Raga Went to the Movies
DESCRIPTION:Language: English\, with songs in Regional Languages \nThis listening session follows the largest collective music education programme in Indian history: South Indian film music. The tracks span sixty years\, from Papanasam Sivan’s writings\, through Sankarabharanam and Sindhu Bhairavi\, to Ilaiyaraaja and A.R. Rahman. The context will be explained\, but how much is already familiar? \nAn uncle at a wedding\, a colleague in a car\, a mother listening to the radio: people who have never attended a kutcheri\, learned notation\, nor sat in front of a teacher\, accurately identify the raga of a song. Nobody taught them\, but it was learnt at the cinema from a long line of composers who carried the ragas into the most popular form of their time. The session argues that without ever calling it teaching\, they gave the whole region a musical ear. \nBIC’s Listening Room Sessions are an opportunity to come together\, listen to and discover new music\, refine old tastes and share influences\, stories and memories. \nIn collaboration with: \n \nDeep Notes is a platform cultivating listening literacy through curated listening experiences\, contextual music discussion and cultural dialogue. It works from the position that listening is a practice that can be taught\, and that attention is a skill worth building deliberately. \nVenue: Library\n\n\nA Listening Room Session\nRSVP here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScB_ASB7yfA5J4_c91J_O3ZdDxrGlEmYhXNzRiWMbaHHmHqhw/viewform?usp=publish-editor)\n*Facilitator*: Goutham Iyengar\n*Event Categories*: Culture\, Experience\, Music
