Abhishek Raghuram - Surabharathi 14 Jan 2016

[Rsachi]

Abhishek Raghuram, in the company of a strong-bowed HM Smita and a vibrant Arjun Kumar, gave an unforgettable concert full of sahitya bhava and raga rasa. The typical Abhishek with laya as his middle name seems to have soaked up sahitya bhava for this concert like a rossagulla.

Song list
1. Girirajasuta-Bangala-T
2.Kaumari Velavali- Gauri velavali-MD
3.Kadambari Priyayai-Mohana-MD
4. Raghupate Rama- Shahana-T
5. Manamu Leda-Hamir Kalyani-T
6. BrhadisvarO - Ganasamavarali-MD
7 . Bhajagovindam - Mand
8. Patiki Harathi-T
9. Mangalam

Gauri manohari, mOhana and Hamir Kalyani were rendered with a great outpouring of raga bhava. I am understating it when I say each song was rendered with maximum impact of Sahitya bhava. Hamir Kalyani was a show stealer.
The niraval and swaras at Simhasanadhipati were mind-blowing.
The Bhajagovindam was rendered with so much vairagyabhava that Adi Shankara (Surabharathi is dedicated to him) would have showered his blessing on Abhishek.
What a concert. The first one I attended in 2016!
