Yes seems to be main. Elaborate yet succinct... Topped with Chanitodi in a lively in-btwn kalapramanam! Drummers on a roll!

Back after a break due to battery n connectivity issues!
Resounding tani after lively neraval & swaras.
Concluding pieces: nanda nandana (desh), enakkum unakkum (senjurutti), thullumada (hamsanandi) and mangalam.
Fantastic concert!

Should surely qualify for the concert of the season. Harikamboji one of the toughest ragas to explore is rarely chosen as main and that too she has further chosen a very rare song Chanitodi teve. Reminds me of Salem Gayathri Venkatesan's bright rendition of Undedi Ramudu prefixed with a 2 min perfect raga sketch and brief swaras on Isai Charal (DD Podhigai). That was nice too.

sowmya is one of the most complete musicians we have with us today.
sometimes i get a feeling she may even be a tad underrated too.
