The name was a new one for me as well. A young musician from Malaysia, I found out. Caught him in a TV interview.His tamizh is very impressive. He sang bits of songs and all of rAmanukku mannan muDi in it.The way he pronounced the words was crystal clear.

I also noticed that this year, the festival features many kerala artistes. The golden girl sings the first concert.

I stand corrected. He mentioned Malaysia, and the interviewer asked how many times you take trips in spreading tamizhisai across the seas--which made me think that he was from there, I suppose...

Whose student is he, by the way?

Sri Venkatramanan sir has given a few recitals in Chennai during recent years. He is a storehouse of Muthiah bhagavatar kritis and has tuned several rare compositions of Purandaradasa.

Not to forget rare ST kritis in the repertoire of Sri Venkatramanan. Prince Rama Varma had remarked elsewhere that he had to request for one or two known songs in the concert of the reverred Guru.
