Yes, that's what I meant.

Fabulous concert.

Some of items were repeated from Dr. Nandita Ravi's solo Music Academy program on "T.Brinda Day" earlier this month but together they took them to the next level yesterday.

Fabulous concert.

Mami is 73 years and her voice displays a lose of sheen and a little karakarappu. Even with that, the change from navrOj in madhyama sruti and opening up to scale dEvAmrithavarshini in higher pitches was astounding change that she did with apparent lack of effort! No reference books/notes/devices either.

Any pointers to her music when she as in 40's 50's most welcome.

Seems she has been awarded Sangitha Kala Acharya. One more notable miss by MA to have recognized a sangItha kalAnidhi.
