Malladi Brothers - Boston Sept 17, 2010

[psitaram]

The Malladi Brothers treated us Bostonions to a superb performance yesterday. The concert started about 30 minutes late due to Friday evening Boston traffic. This worked out for me as I managed to reach just in time for the concert to begin.

Malladi Brothers with Patri Satishkumar is a superb combination! Plus, their approach to kharaharapriyA is scintillating. Glad to hear the Boston concert was a success.

The pallavi line would have been, 'rAma nI samAnam evaru, raghuvamshOddhArakA'
