Sathya enjoyed the concert tour to Bangalore for East Cultural Association who had arranged a solo concert of Sathya handling two keyboards on the 11th Nov'06. Sathya used his Yamaha PSR 640 for Rhythma nd Korg TR for melody and performed numbers from Carnatic, Western and Film numbers.
Mr Thomas, Cultural wing incharge said that the concert was far beyond the imagination of himself with Sathya excelling in all varieties of music and gave great presentation on each form.
Sathya performed Vathapi Ganapathim & Chinnanchirukiliye in carnatic side with one of his own composition based on ragam Kaapi, Keeravani and Gowri Manohari which made got specail appreciation from the audience present.
He performed Theme from Fox and his8th grade western lession named Mad Max under the western form. He played the ever green number of Churaliya & and few hindi numbers like Kajurare, Thuje Deku deku Sona, Humma Humma. He also sang the pallavi for the song Illamaiyenum Poongatru - one of the all time great compositions of Maestro Illayaraja.
It was indeed a great auditorium with excellent PA system of international standard and the team including the sound engineer of East Cultural assoicaition were very co-opertive and made the visit very memorable.
Here is the msg received from Mr Thomas Kunnath, Cultural incharge ECA and we thank him for wonderful report.
Report from Mr Thomas Kunnath
I really from my heart, tell you that Sathya's abilities are more than I or infact members of our club expected. He has a very bright future.
I'm attaching few comments from our members
1. Sreedevi Unni(Well known Mohiniattam dancer, She has a dance troupe which performs all over the world. She is the mother of National award actress Monisha Unni who passed away few years back) while introducing Sathya she said, Sathya at a young age of 11 is able to recite kirthana's & raga's which usually is achieved by professional singer's/musicians with decades of practice.
2. Shaji Pillai(A top executive of IBM. He is also a singer) : Shaji Pillai said,Its amazing to see that a boy at the age of 11 can handle all Ragam, thallam & pallavi. The way Sathya moving over from Carnatic to Semi-classical to western to filmy numbers was extra-ordinary. He also remarked Sathya has opened his eyes on how much a child can do. He said he will surely take the advice of TKB and will try to find out the talents in his children.
3. A very senior member of around 75 plus years came all the way up the stage and gave flowers to Sathya and wished him to be a great musician.
There are many more. It was unfortunate that our circular did not reach our members. We had posted it on Tuesday.
It was a small crowd of only around 100 members. The best part was that no one got up from their seats till Sathya program was over.
A big auditorium of 1000 member capacity, with good music system & aquatics and with only Sathya & around 100 music lovers and pin drop silence - It was amazing.
