Iyakari (released in late July of 2024) is a live album from a concert performed by Dhvani with Sikkil Gurucharan on May 10th, 2024, in Castro Valley, CA. The concert features Vidwan Sikkil Gurucharan, an established Indian Classical vocalist, supported by Dhvani, who is:
Urmika Balaji | violin
Pranav Tirumalai | mridangam
Akshay Prabhakaran | mridangam
Malini Iyer | tanpura
Iyarkai, which translates to “Nature” in English, is reflected in the musical selections (chosen by Sikkil Gurucharan), as well as in the energy of the beautiful outdoor setting – you can feel the trees around you, and the shift in light as the sun dips behind the distant hills.
Recorded and mixed by Chris Chamberlin-Miner
