Rasikas in Kerala / Kochi

[srikant1987]

Hello,

Are there any CM rasikas here from Kochi? Have been looking to know about concerts taking place here. The Hindu's 4th page doesn't list anything here. ;(

[vasanthakokilam]

Ah... you moved there!! Hope you are liking it there. Not that I know any rasika from there, but I know a few people who grew up in that area who were very good CM singers. Good luck in getting latched on to the CM scene there.

[VK RAMAN]

Kochi brahmana samajam should be able to guide you srikant.

[arasi]

Srikant,
You have graduated? Are you working now in Cochi?

[mankuthimma]

Reminds me of an invitation by Palai Ramachandran to visit his village and stay for a week with him ( courtesy some small favour - giving him some recordings of his own concerts ).
Srikanth ..Why dont you encash it on my behalf ?

[ignoramus]

srikanth

concerts in kochi should be around tripunithura / or the Fine arts hall near the Siva Temple. if u can mail me at [email protected], i shall give u one or two good contacts who would guide you

[srikant1987]

mankuthimma,

Where's his village? Is it Palai itself? How far from Kochi (Aluva) is it? And when are the concerts?

arasi,

Yes. Yes, but it's training now.

[mankuthimma]

bhajana koil road , cholapuram,calicut.
And the invitation was not for concerts . Just staying with him and listen to him practising

[ragam-talam]

Srikant - this may be of some interest to you. Chalakudy is not that far from Kochi.

Ah ... I am now in Bengaluru, but I'm sure this thread will be found useful by people who live in Kochi.

I somehow lived a month and a half without a single concert -- actually I saw the webcasts of YACM's programmes towards the end ...
