Sathya's Concert at Padi - August 20, 2006


Sathya today performed for a Wedding reception at Thirumal Thirumagal Hall for Smt Sri Balachandran's daughter's wedding and it was with the team of L Ramakrishnan on violin, Trivandrum Balaji on mrudhangam and Sri EM Subramaniam on Ghatam. It was a real entertainer for teh audience as Sathya was probably in full form right from the start with Mallari on Gambeeranaatai followed by Vathapi Ganapathim on Hamsadhwani.

Vaathapi had niraval and swarams and the team presented a great interaction among them and it was indeed a treat to watch. This was followed with Ninuvina - Navarasa Kaanada and Sadhimchane. A sper the request of Sri Nagarajan from the Bride's family Sathya performed Om Namo Narayanan on Karnaranjani a composition of Smt Ambujam Krishna. This he learnt from Smt Sudha Raghunathan's album on Saturday.
Sathya also performed a fast paced Siva Siva Siva on ragam Panthuvarali which he learnt from Sri Chembai's cassette. He then played Krishna nee begane, Tahnburi meetidharu, Sabapathikku - a Gopalakrishna Bharathi's krithi, Bo Sambo and the main song Samajavaragamana on Hindolam as per the request of the wedding families. It was indeed a crisp thani avarthanam played by the percusion team of Balaji and EMS which was a real treat to the audience.
The lighter section was full of audeince choice with Enna Thavam, Konjum purave, Sri chakra rajasimhasaneswari, Bramamokate, Kuraionrum illai, Enna thavam and Lalgudi's thillana onragam Desh. Special applause was for teh krithi Raja Raja on Niroshta and the Sai bhajan with which Sathya concluded the concert. It is sure this team has impressed the audience, which fact was seen with almost 100 - 150 peopl in a wedding to sit back and hear the concert, giving a feel of a sabha atmosphere.
