2009 USA & Canada Tour Impressions

Kudos to Kalalaya (National sponsors) & IACRFINC for the thought of having Sathya's concert tour this April-May 2009 in USA & Canada. Sincere thanks to all the local organisations for staging his concerts which were all success in all ways. It was indeed a great tour of USA & Canada for Sathya during which he performed 19 cocnerts in 18 cities with few lec-dems. Sathya had the blessings of Sri Embar Kannan and Sri Poongulam Subramanian as his enhancing artists. Here is the collection of video clipping of views expressed by the artists and many rasikas during this tour. Sathya got the oppurtunity to perform many different ragas for RTP, thanks to suggestions by Embar Kannan and Poongulam Subramanian. It is indeed a fact that Sathya has become so fond of Sri Poongulam as he was his friend playing with him almost every minute possible, more than his own maternal uncle and self, his father!

We look forward to more such tours.
