Ramamantra,
It was a repeat joy for me after watching the one in Puttaparthi. Apparently the artistes will travel to many cities abroad too.

Indian artistes performed so beautifully! That drummer (from Senegal?) was a class act.

God bless.

He was just too good, awesome chap. His responses to Karaikudi mani were really so good - moreover, he just enjoyed playing and viewers felt like swaying to his rhythms. Sure, class act - he stole the show :D

Ok. My respect is gender agnostic. My son and Lord Rama share the same nakshatra!
