While Sri Sanjay Subrahmanyan from Chennai was rocking Bangalore at Fort High School grounds, a young lady from Bangalore was trying to do something similar in Chennai. Vid. Aishwarya Vidya Raghunath from Bangalore presented a nice concert at the Asthika Samajam in Venus Colony here. The mukhAri and kAmbOji alapanas proved that both Aishwarya as well as Vid. Akkarai Swarnalatha have a lot of talent. The mukhAri alapana was followed by one of my favorite kritis in that raga â€œkAru bAruâ€œ. The main kriti of the day â€œsrI raghuvaraâ€

Ram, you are perhaps the only person who covers a variety of artists.....I have heard of Aishwarya, but I have not seen her perform. Who's student is she? It would be a worthwhile thread in the Vidwans section to discuss all up and coming artists, in general...this will provide a means for artists and rasikas to project their favorites (without propaganda, I hope)...I have read about Ravikiran, Amritha Murali, Giridhar Udupa, Gayathri Girish, Ashwin, Gayathri Venkataraghavan, Panthula Rama and several others on this forum....the forum does well in representing/discussing up and coming musicians, but can do ever better

Coimbatorerasigan,
You have been 'volunteered' for that task....

thank you ram.....

was the chathusra and thisra nadais were also
"played well":) like the gumkis

...

ishwaryA is a wonderful girl with respect and value for classical music. she sang without an unwanted hurry and
the kalapramanam of karubaru and smarasundaranguni were excellent...

i enjoyed her raga delineation too with a right reflex from swarnalatha..

Erode nAgarAj
