Here's the second episode of the much anticipated IndianOil Now Hear Us Digital Concert Series. This episode features the effervescent and supremely talented Carnatic vocalist Brindha Manickavasakan.
She begins her performance with a Muthuswamy Dikshitar kriti in Ragam Nattai called Swaminatha. She goes on to perform beautiful compositions in Ragams Devagandhari, Simhendramadhyama and Punnagavarali that were taught to her by her long-standing guru Vidushi Suguna Varadachari of the famed Musiri Bani.
The highlight of Brindha's performance is "Kadaikkan", a composition by Ramaswami Sivan in Ragam Begada. She closes her recital with a lovely piece in Ragam Durga followed by a Thillana in Poornachandrika composed by Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar.
Brindha is given rock solid accompaniment by her close friends and contemporaries, L Ramakrishnan on violin, the much-in-demand Praveen Sparsh on mridangam and Anirudh Athreya on kanjira.
