Ramana gave an excellent recital with Ananda naTana prakasam as sub-main and dorakuNa as main.

Sri Narayanan and Sri Chandrasekara Sarma provided exhuberant and complimentary support.

His vocal embellishments simply enhanced the presentation.

upa vinyAsam I am hearing vANi pOndu - jAvaLi - kAnada and haridAsulu (Yamuna kalyANI)

PS: A visiting artiste of YACM first gen. observed to one of the organizers riding him to the airport - the latter shared this publicly in an event - that in the current upcoming crop of artistes , there are many who are learning mridangam and use that as strength to establish themselves ( mridangam katuNDu nirayE pER kiLambiyirukirArkaL). It is a missed bus or sour grape type of comment. It was relayed to local US competitors as a trend news. Ramana would be one in that list.

If Mridangam makes the unheard vINa of karaikudi bANi - hey! one of the true music of all musics, that is not heard - to be heard, that is indeed a surreal irony - for all claims that Mridangam is not music.

People can check out the e-bouquets being showered in the chat!
