Sathya at Calicut for Swathi Music Dias


It was a great day indeed for Sathya as it was a concert he was performing after a long journey of flight from Hyd - Coimbatore and then 4 hrs of road travel to Calicut. He was enhanced by Sri Trivandrum Vinu on Violin, Sri Mysore Sudharshan (a sishya of Guru Karaikudi Mani avl) on Mrudhangam and Sri Sashi Shankar on Ghatam.
It was a wonderful concert and Sri Babu Swami, Secy Swathi Music Dias and his daughter were all praise for Sathya. They also informed that it was for the 5th continuous year Sri Sudharshan was performing and requested / insisted him to play thani when he had opted suddenly not to play one may be due to time. The thani was great and no wonder they insisted on it as otherwise audience would have missed the oppurtunity.
The experience of performing with higher graded artists in two consecutive concerts at different states and of high caliber was good for Sathya. The travel for this tour was also hectic and all these should get Sathya ready for the greater things to come in his journey of music.
