I liked it. Normally, Gayathri comes off as more accomplished. The question on the chemistry between them, and Gayathri's 'feeling blessed to sing with her sister' was a nice response. The question about language, bhakthi also were fielded well. It gives a sense of satisfaction to understand the bond between the singers, and it is palpable in their singing.

In the last 9 years or so , they have won the best concert yogam nagaswami prize from academy atleast 2 or 3 times. Academy and INdira sivasailam foundation have tied up and certainly that must be weighed in . Congratulations to RA GA sisters , they deserve it .

Gnanam is really overrated. At the end of the day, we are convinced that technical mastery over your instrument or your medium of expression is really what can make your music communicative. Whatever your mind thinks, your voice has got to be able to execute.
They are making a statement for the times. The reason again Carnatic music when rendered by a raspy voice is appealing to many , is the exquisiteness of expressions ( that points to a certain sAdhakam to achieve it) and also importantly expressions of laya and verve!

In current times however audience - just like I was in my initial days - is attracted to what is currently prevalent notion of a pleasing voice.

However when few of us found them impressive , their voice delivery is one thing - some dismissed it as not too wholesome - an imitation of their violin shades , but mainly there were no other female representation of that vervy style of SSI school with unrestrained kArvais! And there were no other female artistes that would be as strident and punchy as them for a long time.

Ranjani Gayatri review of NGS in The Hindu dated Dec 13,2018. NGS hall concert of Karthik Fine Arts had HNB-SaiGiridhar-KVG as the team . The photo in the below link shows music academy with SaiRam and Chandrasekhara Sharma , thank god in the concert writeup and the photo HN Bhaskar remains the same.

Atleast 10 or 12 years back i was searching if subramanya bhujangam has been taken up by any CM artist. If my memory is right i found one by Bangalore Shankar and there was also one by Vidushi R Vedavalli.

Now Raga sisters have taken up that in their extremely impressive rendition. The video shoot is in the besantnagar arupadai veedu temple.

I wish they had also shown visuals like the 6 arupadai veedu , that way the 6 temples which are bit localised Tamilnadu history are also known to the world .Look at the credits too, lot more names you do know . Well done the supporting team and Well done Ranjani Gayatri sisters.
