Concert at the Home Turf - Sri Ram Samajam - 28th Aug'08

After almost 3 years it was like coming to his home turf at the Sri Ram Samaj, Ayodhya Mandapam, West Mambalam for a concert on the 28th August'08. With the team of Karaikal Venkatasubramanian on Violin, SJ Arjun Ganesh on the Mrudhangam, HariharaSharma on Kanjeera and ChandrasekaraSharma on the Ghatam the concert was almost full of West Mambalamites both on stage (except Vekat from Adyar) and off the stage. Every artist was enjoying themselves and gave their best to make this a successful concert. Audience appreciated the list of krithis selected for the day and many who were listening to Sathya after a long time, appreciated the way Sathya has improved in his presentation over the period of three years from his last performance at the Samajam. The quality of the recording is not as great as expected but still you can listen to the tracks in the following link:
