Post by mohan »

As discussed in the Cleveland Aradhana thread, Ashwin Srikant, performed a short concert at Cleveland featuring a special pallavi in 27 akshara nandi tala. This was composed in Varamu raga by Ashwin's guru, Smt Charumathi Ramachandran.

Here is the concert video:

Ashwin (18) from California won the Special Pallavi competition at Cleveland last year. He is a Freshman at UC San Diego.

Ashwin will be happy to hear your comments on the concert.

Mohan,
As his teacher in music in his childhood years in Australia, you must be proud of him! When I heard him sing in Cleveland, I was too. I introduced myself to him via E-mail and asked for the details of the laya in his pallavi so that all laya buffs could see it, and he obliged.

Now that you have brought the concert itself here, others can hear him too.

Is he a freshman at college?

Yes Arasi he is doing us all proud. He has found an ideal guru in Smt Charumathi who has been able to focus his musical ability in the right way.

He is in his first year in college.
