I went to the concert of Smt.Saroja and Smt.Lalitha, the renowned Bombay Sisters, on 16th May at Sri Kapaga Vinayakar Temple, Karpagam Gardens,Adyar,Chennai.
The accompaniments were Sri Ganapathy Raman on the mridangam, Sri Ananthapadhmanabha on the violin and Sri Sivaramakrishnan on the Ghatam. It was an exemplary performance by the team.
The list of songs is as follows:

1. jaya jaya jAnakI - nAttai - Khanda Chapu - Purandaradasar (S)
2. brOchEvArevarurA - khamAs - Adi - Mysore Vasudevacharya
3. AnandhanadamAduvar - pUrvikalyAni - rUpakam - Neelakanta Sivan (A, S)
4. enna punniyam - rIthigowlai - rUpakam - Uthukkadu Venkatasubbier
5. rAma kathA sudhA - madhyamavathi - Adi - Thyagarajar (A, N, S, T)
6. engu nAn selvEn - jujAvanthi - Khanda Chapu - Periyasaamy Thooran
7. thanga thatAkaththil - natabhairavI - Adi - ??
8. suzhalum chakkaramum - pIlu - Adi - L.Krishnan
9. Thillana - Hamsanandhi - Adi- GNB
10. pavamAna suthudu(mangalam) - sowrAshtram - Adi - Thyagarajar

What an excellent performance!! I really loved the concert. It was one of those rare concerts where the accompaniments and the music were equally appreciable.

The first song was a refresher no doubt as it was "jaya jaya jAnakI"

No. It is Neelakanta Sivan's composition. I had written Papanasam Sivan but I have corrected it. Thanks for commenting.

Srikant1897,
Why don't you highlight the good things in a review rather than finding mistakes? ;) =)
