Yes, you'll get to hear this concert soon as a 2-CD album released by Carnatica! We are working hard to bring out the CD in time for Kalpagam mami's concert later this month in Cleveland. Rasikas' wholehearted support for this album will help us bring out more of mami's treasures. Thanks in advance, folks!

Hi Ramji!

Nice to see you!

I can vouch that the 2-CD pack of mAmi that Ramji (davalangi) is refering to is a fantastic 'must-buy'....

Thanks, Ravi for starting the original thread. I bet mAmi (at 85+) is pleasantly surprised that her music has become the flavor of the season

Anyway, better late than never!

I recently picked up the recording of this concert, released by Carnatica. A real treasure... thanks to Carnatica & Nada Inbam for publishing this and pranams to mAmi!
