It was my first concert in Mudra. Mudra is celebrating MMI Centenary. So Sikkil’s few songs are tributes to MMI.
Another outstanding concert by the team of professionals. 2 hours 3 minutes- kriti selection, time management and rendition – Sikkil Gurucharan is a class apart.
Tani by UKS- one has to go out and buy ticket again. Brilliant Tani with EMS.
varadarAjan’s karaharapriya in rAja Annamalai manram with Sanjay on 29th was outstanding and his Bilahari yesterday showed another class. Varadu has improved a lot.
Great going.
