Sathya with Neyveli Narayanan & B S Purushothaman 18th Nov'06


Sathya today had the oppurtunity (18th Nov'06) had the oppurtunity for the first time to team up with Sri Neyveli Narayanan on the Mrudhangam, Sri B. S. Purushothaman on Kanjeera and Sri S P Ananthapadmanabha on the violin. for a concert held at Sri Karaneeswarar Temple, Saidepet sponsored by Sri N Balasubramanian, T.S. MAhalingam & Sons in co-ordination with Kunnakudy School of Music, Thiruvanmiyur.

It was raining all the while and raised doubts of the concerts being held today as scheduled. It was a divine blessings that the rain god was resting while the concert went on per schedule and had good audience too. It is indeed remarkable to know that SAthya is performing at this temple just before he is procedding to take part in the video shoot of POGO awards which video will decide the winner. Hope he get the top spot with the blessings of Sri Karaneeswarar and with the wishes of all his well wishers.

The ambience was so good and the PA system was of good standard (RK Audio). Both Sri Neyveli Narayanan and Sri B S Purushothaman enchansed the music in a great way with their apt and brisk support on the rhythm. S.P. Aananthapadmanabha was as usual at his best appreciating Sathya and many places and supporting him in the way required to enchance the show.
Sathya on the request of Sri N Balasubramanian had taken Diwakaram, a navagraha krithi on Lord Satturn, being saturday with Pradhosam, on yadhukulakambodhi.
