As usual, a high energy concert by the brothers. Vasantha, Varali and RTP were the highlights. The fast paced swaras in vegavahini and vasantha were a real treat. They attempted a harmony in the chittaswaras of Vandhatonuna and then again in the bhajan to superb effect. Violinist had an off day. Too many slips. Tani was good from mridanga but the ghata artist messed it up missing the beat many times. It was a tricky tala no doubt.

Other forumites who attended may please fill in the ragas that I have left blank.
