+ suma sAyaka in a relaxed pace; was a treat to listen
+ manasi dussAham
+ fantastic percussion support for ranganAyakam
+ mridangam had a metallic thom sound rather than the chap-chap sound
+ absolutely great team work
+ packed hall
- by the time he came to main, the pace has quickened - time constraint?
- to my untrained ears, jayantasri gave hindolam feel

all in all, 2 hours of very good music.

Sumasayaka is a Swati Tirunal Pada varanam.KVN used to sing this. Khambhoji alapana was superb. I see a very bright future for this NRI artist.
