An artiste to watch out for. She sang with a lot of bhava and involvement. I also liked the fact that she took the pains to give the audience background info on some songs. Overall, an excellent concert.

Nice that you went to a fellow forumite's concert. Nivedita comes across as a helpful and knowledgeable young person in her posts. Good to hear that she gave an excellent concert.
Of course, we eagerly look forward to her blossoming into a top notch performer...

Apt choice, considering the saurAShTra kRti is also from Prahlada Bhakti Vijayam

Hi all, thanks for all the kind words!

What is a "dvipadai"? Samagana Priye is a really beautiful composition, but I haven't heard many people sing it post-GNB. All the best, Nivedita!

Thanks, bilahari! A 'dvipadai' is a verse with a specific number of kuril-s (short vowels) and nedil-s (long vowels) in each line.

I see. Thanks for the explanation, Nivedita.
