Concert for CAMAGA - ATLANTA - 26th April'09


This was the first concert to have been performed in a temple. It was a great Balaji temple and also had a Shiva temple adjacently. The concert here had main krithi on ragam Thodi and also a RTP on Reethigowla with phrase - "Mal Maruganai Muruganai Pani Maname - Maneme Diname Ninaindhidu" in kandajathi Thriputa thalam. Raga aalapana, The thanam, the thrikalam of pallavi and the kalpanaswarams were all appreciated very much by the audience who gave once again a standing ovation. 

It has been a good concert presentation tour (and o is off the concert) for this team and hope Sathya maintains and does his best in the rest. Dr Ram Sriram one o the officials of CAMAGA - Atlanta, gave a good speech highlighting all the positives of all the three artists and Sathya in particular. It was interesting to see youngster coming to Sathya enquiring about the keyboard techniques after the concert and you can listen to a youngster interested in carnatic muic to give his impressions in the video clipping below:
