Bhajans on Keyboard released on 25th Nov'09
A great moment in our life! Yes, we didn't even think that this would happen when Sathya played on the 25th Dec'09 at "Vipanchee" chaired by Dr. Balamuralikrishna. It was indeed our wish that Dr. Balamuralikrishna release Sathya's album and in the previous instances we could not get his dates. Today our dream has come true in all means that Dr. Balamuralikrishna not only released his new Bhajans album but also spoke about his efforts to lift the ban in "All India Radio" for this as a solo Instrument.
Thanks once again to Sri. Dinesh Naidoo who was the first person to recognise Sathya's talent after seeing him in South Africa, to produce an album titled Carnatic on Keyboard Vol 1 in the year 2003. He also followed it up with his second production Carnatic on Keyboard Vol2 in 2004 and now this is his third and Sathya's 9th album. What a forethought this man had and hats off to him for Sathya to be in the position where he is now!
The evening started with Sathya's paternal Grandmother Smt. Padma Pathy and Smt. Janaki Subramanian, a ardent well wisher of Sathya, lighting the kuthuvillaku - the traditional Lamp. It was Dr. Ghatam Karthick who made his debut as a Comparer and went on to make a flawless Century, in presenting the event to the audience in the best way possible. His introduction of the Guest of Honours, the artists and thanking the audience were all in style and it is nice to know that a new avatar of Dr. Ghatam Karthick has surfaced during this album launch.
The team of Adyar Balasubramanian on Nadaswaram, Thillaisthanam Suriyanarayanan on Mrudhangam, Pradeep on Tabla, Sridhar on Drums and Rajagopal on Effects & timing gave five selected numbers from the albums they had performed and it was appreciated to have been indeed pleasing to the ears by the audience. Rajagopal blew the traditional "Sangu" which was indeed a surprise not only for the audience but also for the artistes on stage.
Then came the moment Dr. Balamuralikrishna launched this album along with Dr. NAlli Kuppuswami Chetti, Sri. A. Natarajan (former Director Doorsharshan, Chennai) Sri Goaselan Achary, Durban, South Africa and Sri. Dinesh Naidoo, producer of this album under Serendipity Production, Durban, South Africa. It was so nice to see large amount of media person coming and blessing Sathya for this event and the audience after listening to the performance were eager now to buy their copy. It was Mr & Mrs/ Ganesan who got the first copy in 300 numbers, a thought full gift for their son's wedding reception, Sri Ranganathan, Ashok Foundations, 100 numbers, bought as New Year give away and Sri Vikram Sarathy, 50 numbers who bought for give away gift for his Poonal - Thread wearing ceremony. There were around 75 individuals who had also bought their copies.
A great day ended with Raghupathy Raghava Raja Ram track played and with audience returning home blessing Sathya and listening to this pleasant track in the back ground.
Sample tracks of this album can be listened in :

Sathya blessed to be under The Legendary Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna!
The greatest thing that has happened in Sathya's life after his return from USA & Canada is that he has been blessed to be the sishya of Padmavibhusahan Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna. Yes it is indeed a dream come true happening for us and it was a great blessing that Sathya has started his classes under the Living God of Music on the 9th July, 2009. This is indeed a great recognition for the efforts of Sathya to perform Carnatic on music and we are sure this is a great beginning for him and the instrument for the long journey in the field of Carnatic Music.

Chicago Thyagaraja Utsavam concert 25th May'09
Sathya with Embar Kannan and Poongulam Subramanian gave a performance that got the following comments from Mr Nathan, a seasoned organiser of concerts in Chicago for years. "I sincerely had a bad or no opinion of Carnatic music produced on a keyboard until i listened to your concert. Now i sincerely feel it is no different from any other instrument already in our music front. congrats to your efforts and i wish you all the very best for a great future." This indeed tells the way the concert went today apart from the words of two youths who had been to the concert and gave their impressions after the concert at the gate.
Sincere thanks to Sri Raghavan, Conveyor, who informed about the interest shown by CTU through Smt Bargavi Sundarajan to bring Sathya into USA before couple of years. He also was appreciative of Sathya's efforts and expressed to host him as and when possible. It was also nice to see lot of youth in the audience side and it would be nice if they are inspired with this show. You can log on to http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F977F23018A06AD2

This is indeed a special concert in a way that this was arranged just after Mr Srikanth, from ISKON Temple had been to the concert on May 3rd and checked with ISKON authorities to arrange Sathya's concert there on 5th May'09.

Sathya for the first time attempted to elaborate Dwajavanthi raaga aalapana and Sathya was so happy to have got applause not only from the knowledgeable audience but also from his mentor and uncle Embar Kannan right on stage.While there was graceful Charukesi from Sathya & Kannan, Poongulam Subramaniam was at his best all throughout and in particular in Thani avarthanam. The pattern he played for Akilandeswari was really appreciated as he brought in feel of Tabla for this song. Here is the video clipping link of the concert, thanks to Ms Arthi, student of Embar Kannan, who had helped in recording these clippings.
The RTP on ragam Sumanesaranjani was the highlight of the concert with Pallavi lines being "Vaa Guha Muruga Shanmuga - Valli Manla Vadivelava". The ragamalikla kalpanaswarams on Reethigowla, JOG, Shanmugapriya and Priyadharshini alternatively by Embar Kannan & Sathya with Sathya playing all the ragams on the reverse before concluding with a good korvai on Sumanesaranjani.
