Just Awesome!!
I attended a concert by mandolin prodigy U Shrinivas today, and it was just awesomely awesome!!! I am not a big fan of carnatic music, but the mandolin notes and perfection of U Shrinivas, both combined I guess you really don't need to know or understand carnatic music. Mrindangam by Trichy Sankaran and Poovalur Srinivasan was just just amazing!!! By the way Poovalur Srinivasan is a faculty member at the University of North Texas at Denton and is also a leading personality in the world of percussion!! The jugalbandi between the two mridangams was just tooo toooo goood!!! The mandolin has a certain sweetness of its own, never going to a pitch that you would ever feel uncomfortable to your ears. By the way U Shrinivas was accompanied by his brother U Rajesh and on the Violin was Delhi Sunderajan....Don't ask me why is he named Delhi....I don't know!
