This is a must listen concert for the following reasons:
1. Wonderful song list, full of great bhava and saukhyam.
2. Excellent manodharma in raga, swara and niraval.
3. Very mature, "guiding", accompaniment of RKSK.
4. Brilliant mridangam accompaniment by Anand. Believe me, this video recording is worth watching just to observe this handsome and talented protégé of the Palghat Raghu school.

Please share your comments after a listen!

Guess what - this is the Sunday Brunch too!

Hearing RKM concert. Very good concert with nice selection of songs. Budham Asrayami is not heard often. Suitable song for the beginning. Percussion also rocking. RKSK and Ghatam provides good support..
