Very Sanjay-esque concert list. Rishabapriya main and Polla puliyinum....
I heard his CD released last year by the Charsur Arts foundation. Quite impressive!

Not just the list. The whole stage demeanour, gesticulations, dress sense, meticulous planning, singing style full of poised explosiveness not to mention the dabba moonji all remind you that he is Sanjay's student. His voice is "better" than Sanjay's (more ganeer) and his presentation has a few rough edges which will get deburred over time

What is dabba moonji?

Rectangular face is how I meant it.

sureshvv,
wish you had found a better phrase!

A great talent-lets forget the shape of the face

I heard the full concert and was really impressed with the performance. a good team work. he imitates his Guru in many ways especially the dance with alapanas. kai thookal. rishabhapriya receives a special mention as he explored the raga very well. The Korvai was good.
sure he will leave a stamp of his own soon.

sureshvv,
And I thought it was from some movie, the expression. And what about mango face, full circle face and so on? After all, we all fit into one category or the other.
Whatever cetegory Sandeep falls under, he is a very good singer and has a stage personality as well.
We all know that it is music that makes a concert work

A pleasant face adds some charm to it, I agree, but beauty (handsomeness) matters the least in music. Besides, it is is all in the eye of the beholder...

You guys got me all wrong... Firstly it was meant only as a term of endearment. Secondly, I find a dabba/dappa moonji most alluring. Thirdly, from the audience in the hall I dare say that many others do too

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 08 May 2009, 02:20

No, I didn't get you wrong. You would not have written an appreciative review had you not liked his performance!

sureshvv · Post by **sureshvv** » 08 May 2009, 11:39

And I don't find it easy to separate the performer from the performance. A good kuchery leads me to become an adulating whimpering fan

Like is understatement. When we schedule the coolji roast, i will be sure to stand in line to sign up! In the meanwhile, I will hope that you won't change the frame on your specs

If any blore-ite can remind the janta about any future concert of Sandeep Narayan, it will be great.

I like Sanjay's "not kaneer" Voice though. And very well suited for his style of singing.
Very good when he renders kamboji, mohanam , Kalyani, begada , and I think many more ragas.

You can get a list of sandeep narayan's upcoming concerts,previous concert song lists and some audio tracks for listening.

I listened to korinavara (that happens to be my current fav song too) from his website
It was really a great rendition.

The neraval of this song has great scope and he just did that exactly. Great breadth.

I just noticed that this concert is available for download on the charsur website (for a cost of $5; pricing is probably different in India).
