BTM Cultural Academy @ 25th June, 2011

This was a very special day for me as I was getting to perform with one of my personal favorite Mridangam Vidwans of today - Sri Arun Prakash. I especially admire his approach towards playing for Kritis and his deceptively simple Korvais.
I thoroughly enjoyed the outing - more so because I got to sing all the favorites of Semmangudi Mama.
Despite a rainy evening, the hall at BTM Cultural Academy was packed to full and the audience was extremely receptive.
Here goes the list:

entho prema - surutti - adi - varnam

deva deva kalayami - mayamalava gowla - rupakam - swati tirunal (N,S at jaata rupa)

ksheenamai - mukhari - adi - thyagaraja

hariharaputram - vasanta - khanda eka - muthuswami dikshitar (R,S at kaliyuga prathyaksham)

patti viduvaradu - manjari - adi - thyagaraja

o rangasayee - kambhoji - adi - thyagaraja (R,N,S)

thani avarathanam

parulanna mata - kapi - rupakam - dharmapuri subbarayar

jagadeesa - nadanamakriya - adi - swati tirunal
