Sangeetha Samabhashane with Balasubramanya Sharma and Dattatreya Velankar

On the evening of April 5, two vidwans conversed, sang and brought out the flavour of Indian music at Sri Rama mandali in East End, Jayanagar. Vid Balasubramanya Sharma on Carnatic music and Pandit Dattatreya Velankar on Hindustani music.

The vidwans chose raga Mohana and Bhoop respectively in Carnatic and Hindustani.  A detailed alapana and the choice of the kriti, “Nammamma Sharade” were highly intoxicating to the rasikas.  The vidwans picked a common raga Keeravani and a popular composition “Neene Anatha Bandhu” to give the ‘kick’ for the evening.  They complimented each other very well and displayed a rarity of bringing the two forms of Indian music - Carnatic and Hindustani music, together.
