I am writing based on 2nd hand information, requesting those attend to write on details.
Mr. Baby spoke in detail, and praised Smt Ponnamaal a lot, for not compromising on tradition. She is one of few muscians today, performing with same level as she did many years before, irrespective of any title or awards..
Prof Ponnamaal & Smt Bahmah Krishnan rendered mainly swathi thirunaal keerthanas, approximate list
1. todi pada varnam - dani samajendra
2. shakthi ganapathim of muthaiah bhagavathar
3. pahi tarakshu - ananda bhairavi
4. kalyani keerthana of swathi thirunaal
5. thillana - swathi thirunaal
I might have missed few items, as this is 2nd hand information.
