Geetham Sangeetham a 3 day festival of up coming artists was held by The FIne Arts and Mambalam sisters gave an excellent concert
Good coordination good song selection and rich in manodharmam.

Saveri and todi were outstanding and so was the odam song which she announced as tuned bu Suguna mami and is a kalyanam song.It was interesting something similar to what Dr Nithyashrees famous Ragathil siranda ragam.Can some on post the lyrics.She announced they had sang for AIR archives.

The other songs were rendered well.

Shivkumar was brilliant through out and was outstanding in the rtp and todi .This Mumbai man was outstanding today.

Rajesh Srinivasan another Mumbai artist was too good and showed his mettle in the thani.

An excellent concert.
