This is the first time I am hearing Sri Lokanadha Sarma sing. He presented a very simple concert devoid of frills. Sri Phalgun on the mrudangam was very impressive. He played very well for songs. I first heard him play for Sri Shashank (Flute) a few months back and from then on I have been wanting to hear more of him. His style of playing and fingering looks very similar to that of Sri Patri Satish Kumar, one of my favorite mrudangists in the concert circuit today. He uses the middle finger as an anchor while playing, in place of the ring finger which most other mrudangam artists use.
