Margazhi Maha Utsavam is here :-)

Spidey... there are always some good souls who would upload MMU videos on youtube

For others, who are waiting, just reminding that the concerts will begin to be aired on Jaya TV from the 15th. Hopefully, we'll have more to talk about after we start watching the concerts

I have not seen the promos either!! Wonder why. In any case the information that they will be telecast 15th onwards is only from that website.

Kantha and Kalyani.... when I was in India, I used to be sabha-hopping. But since the last couple of years, haven't had the luxury to do that :-( Last year, I was lucky to be in India during December but could not attend too many concerts because of a wedding in the family :-( But still, just being in Mylapore, watching other go to kutcherys in Margazhi is a treat in itself :bowdown

savvyheal... I like Ranjani/Gayathri a lot, especially their abhangs are a treat Parthasarathy Swami Sabha... Vidya Bharati Kalyana Mandapam...wow! I was in India last year during season and I attended Sanjay's concert there. He sang a beautiful pallavi in Sumanesa Ranjini. I remember being so overwhelmed and sobbing 1/2 way through the pallavi.

 

yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy.. I saw the promos!!! Finally!!!!!

It is at 6 PM CST starting tomorrow. I think the first concert is either Nityashree (not very fond of her) or Abhishek Raghuram (I love him, so much that I was hearing his CD while being induced in the hospital room!!) or Malladi Brothers ( I like them a lot too)

:cheers:cheers:cheers

Yes!! You should go to the afternoon concerts. I think many of these artistes that perform in the afternoon have very good vidwat, but sadly they don't draw the kind of crowd that evening performers do.

And I remember those times when BJ, Unni, Soumya et al were performing at the 3'o clock slots. My dad and I used to attend those at Mylapore Fine Arts, then go to the canteen for keerai vadai and coffee and then go back outside to wait to be let in for the 6'o clock, ticketed concerts! The scouts then used to come and distribute the kutchery buzz papers which we read while waiting for the concerts to begin. Those were good times. It's great that your LOs are interested in attending as well

Ghatam Karthik's Heart Ensemble was performed here in Austin, I think about 2 years back. They were pretty good. It was only Embar Kannan though, no keyboard. (BTW... I find Embar Kannan too cute!! :thumbsup )
