MUSICAL TRIBUTE Artistes chose songs popularised by Subbulakshmi.
Though it was almost a last minute decision, the Department of Culture took a laudable step to celebrate the 89th jayanti of Bharat RatnaM. S. Subbulakshmi. South Indian Cultural Association and Raksha International put together this commemoration programme, inviting a number of front rank musicians of the twin cities to render compositions of the many Vaggeyakaras.
Most of them rightly chose to sing those songspopularised by Subbulakshmi. This proved once again that the late melody queen is the heartbeat of the many musicians here. The backstage was specially designed with an imposing picture of Subbulakshmi . The programme was titled Bhaja Govindam, from the cassette of slokas composed by Sri Jagadguru Adi Shankara in a song form in Ragamalika, made famous of by the late M.S.Subbulakshmi and Raksha International Foundation.
Sisters Lavanyalatha and Nityasanthoshini presented a mellifluous recital that included Ganesha Panchakam, Bhavayami Gopala Balam (of Annamacharya in Yamuna Kalyani) and Madhurashtakam Slokas of Adi Shankara. Sai Anil on the violin, P.V. Ramanamurthy ( mridangam), Ravi Kiran ( flute) and Sridharachari (tabla) accompanied the duo.
