Grand Musical Concert by a Sangeetha Kalanidhi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas Mohammad Krishna, popularly known as TMK gave his grandiose performance ever On the auspicious day of Ghazni Panchami in Thiruvaiyaru by the banks of Cauveri River. Beginning with a humble obeisance to the destroyer of Ganapati Statues, Father Periyaar A beautiful kriti was rendered over Aryan atrocities committed against the Adi-Dravidar. Following, came a quick Viruttham from Sebastian Sashti Kavacham- "May the Lord bless me and curse others", in chaste Manipravalam. More soul wrenching kritis were rendered, first by an Oppari improvisation Followed by abusive refrain, concluding with the viral swaram ornamentation. The enthralled audience, moved past traditional "handwaving" Comfortably followed the artist in smoking and binge drinking... Traditional music finally evolved to the modern stage Shaming Woodstock and relegating it to the stone age. An extremely rare Raagam Thaanam Pallavi was the highlight of the grand concert. "Oh! he discovered the New World when Europe believed the Earth was flat" With fourteen hundred and ninety two beats, set to Conquistadore Christopher Columbus Taalam! Dwarfing, at a mere one hundred and twenty eight, by a factor over ten, the Simhanandanam. Honors were offered to the true believers at the music academy a delectable "Aurangazeb Ashtapadi" followed in Raagam Haraam Kalyani. With the enthralled audience demanding a traditional ending "Taliban Thillana", then TMK concluded with a soulful rendering.

Oral Bullshit !!

Carnatic music is full of praise for Hindu gods and gurus. So are Christians and Muslims okay with sharing or enjoying the krithis? How did you implement your vision as 7 years have passed since this speech.

Culture ❤ there is no nationality,,,, nailed it sir

Thanks sir T M Krishna on 🔥❤

Tyagarajanutudau Sri Ramuni Tatvamu teliyanidoka Padava (Biruda)???!!!

And ofcourse classical has a meaning ...traditional. carnatic music is definitely classical. What is he trying to say..totally confused .

No one other than your family looks down upon others. Other are most humble and do please don't generalise with ttk family

Everything only words. What have you done.have you at least brought 2 people from urur kuppam to play just tambura?? What kind of action is this. You are just a man of words my dear Krishna. Waiting to see some real.actiion. By the way, your existence too has no meaning.

Only you look down upon others. Other artists don't. This is ceap politics

A big hypocrite. What is music without bhakthi

He is thinking of himself as great which is not at all correct. Let him discontinue to sing Tyagaraja, and others kirtanas by singing only swaras with gimmicks.

Criticizing Tyagaraja and ancient musicians is a sin

Criticising Tyagaraja and earning fame by singing Tyagaraja kirtanas. There are so many Musicians who helped poor people with charity like Mssubbulaxmi gaaru, so many Hindustaani musicians like karimkhan and others maintained gurukulams. In carnatic Music Parupalli Ramakrishnayya pantulu gaaru maintained gurukulam with his assistance. So criticizing everything is not appreciable, of course he is having high degree of knowledge.

An immatured arrogant politician minded idiot.. He may have got some classical singing skills.. But he is definitely against his own group. Let me not be mistaken in being so open minded.. This is not an English literature programme Better sing and not speak and save your skin

Worst human being can ever be seen.. Hating to the core a real communist mentality

Tm krishna is great

the introduction of tamil nadu and keral is totally true. love from tamil nadu

Continue your trash...

GREAT SPEECH. SPELLBOUND.

I am admirer of Priya ji

എന്താ മാഷേ മോഡി സവർണ്ണനാണോ.

then what is culture?

That was some half baked views on fascism and fully baked 26 min of language fascism..TMK talks and bats for an incestuous community ..that is English speaking.

Become a politican

If your music touches the soul of the listener then you are on the same wavelength.How can you know if your own music is so confused and incidental? If you want to bring reforms in music through socialism do not have double standard and try to earn by singing carnatic kriths

The ideology left has destroyed all the old art forms,wherever it acquaried state power,. Because Leftists say old art culture represents ruling exploiting classes.Left has not created no new people's art forms.After destroying old arts lefties live in anarchy.

ungalukku tamiz teriyadha

There was hardly any tamil in the speech....

Enam inatoda tan serrum

Hi ninga entan puratchya pesunalum ...ungla avanga ethuka Katanga ..ipovena heroitica theryalam but ...muthugula kuthatan poranga

You’re excellent man. Beautiful voice and practical. J. Ebenezer Victor.

Ur speech about tamilnadu is true

Asatharada mappla! Parkka parkka acharyamaa irukku! Pure at heart!So very courageous & revolutionary to create a Renaissance like the bharathi,ramanujar& other great eminerants who strived in the past for the same cause!

Great speech 👍

communist bastards...you are dead forever

Paithyakaran who is talented

carnatic music has never said that the singer will give the glimpses of god. just bigger you are a 'big' musician, don't think we will believe whatever you say. Carnatic music is never rigid. you are allowed to sing freely whatever you want. dont try to put down such a great art. you have earned some good name bcoz of carnatic music. carnatic music never mentions anywhere about being hierarchical and being on top. you hardly give any evidence. rama nannu brovara and kamakshi you can still sing well though see rama or kamakshi. and thats what shows carnatic music never sells bhakti. the composer who ever composed the kritis never composed to divide people. they just chose to worship god through music. they never said you have to sing only that kritis. it is the people like you who is trying to give it a wrong perspective. there is a kriti called english note which is so much accepted among all carnatic music where no godly refrence is given. still it is so much loved by all carnatic music lovers and singers. you never speak about those kritis and the acceptance of those kritis. you are just being selective about what you want to speak and trying to destroy the glory of a beautiful music form. worst worst worst. never I will listen to you. i will say this till you read this comment and understand the mistake you are doing.

12:08 👌👌👌👌

@13:30 onwards

Your art is without heart.You are a frog in the well.

You bloody fucker get lost.This chutiya sings about Rama without devotion.Now sing in front of Rahul Gandhi.He is a wall without emotions.

Music is Bhakti if you have Bhakti, if you don't have Bhakti, it is not Bhakti. You can keep your personal faith to yourself. Do not ruin Bhakti in Music for others who actually reach out to God through Carnatic music

That is the difference between Sri Tyagaraja and him. SriTyagaraja composed music due to devotion, with devotion, He became immortal. He is just singing mechanically. Devotion is an essential part of music. It gives the music it's soul. Without devotion it is just a string of swaras. Beautiful perhaps, but dead.

Nothing path breaking in the field you chose. Accept that and learn to be content.

Very well said , one of the big reason such ancient music form are still commercially a negligible portion of global music pie

This crooked minded fellow is disturbing the nature of the society. All individuals cannot get music. Just like science and history not all will be interested in classical music. It's meant only for those who have a an idea about classical music. Inner consciousness is a must for this music. This dumb fellow knowing fully well just indulges in politics just to earn more fame and money

The more he talks the more I dislike him. The more he sings the more I like him. He is a gifted singer.

Dear mr.krishna i started to hear your speech with an open mind until you said rama or wall i dont care !! Ra, ma is only sounds for you. I pray for your listeners who were thinking that you were singing in bhakthi but now got to know that u were only imitating the musical sounds. God bless you. Anyways ,lotus blooms among the dirt n reaches the lotus feet of the god. No matter whoever try to blemish the art or its form it carries on....your speech is like someone having sumptuous ghee panchabhakshya paramaanna upto the throat but blaming the host for not keeping hot water to wash the dirty hands.
