Hello Charulatha,
ReplyDeleteI chanced upon your Isai Payanam 2 program on YouTube. It is an outstanding performance! Now, I am able to identify so many compositions as well as film songs in Anandabhairavi and Kalyani ragas.
I have a suggestion. Your presentation of many of the old Tamil songs based on these ragas are so better than what was originally presented. Please release a version of these songs keeping the lyrics intact, shone of the filmy tune and set to pure Carnatic style. I am sure that there will be many takers for it. I will be the first one.
Best regards
Ram
