mandolin srinivas was the first musician to use the electric mandolin in Carnatic music: he modified the electric western instrument, using five single strings instead of the traditional four doubled strings to suit the Carnatic pitch, raga system, and especially gamakas, or nuanced oscillations. Starting in 1982, he performed regularly during the December season of the prestigious Madras Music Academy, performing there every year except in 2002 - December 23 of each year was a reserved slot for U. Srinivas - the highest accolade. Srinivas performed at age thirteen at the Berlin Jazz Festival. Initially booked to play a half-hour concert after Miles Davis, Srinivas won a standing ovation, and had to play for another hour. "He's got it in him. He's fantastic," said the legendary Don Cherry at the time. Guitarist John McLaughlin first heard a tape of this concert by the thirteen-year-old prodigy, and was left very impressed. He played at the Olympic Arts Festival, Barcelona in 1992 and in 1995 recorded a successful fusion album with Michael Brook. When John McLaughlin revived his group Shakti, and renamed it Remember Shakti, in 1997, he asked Srinivas to join the group and tour the world with it, along with other Indian musicians Zakir Hussain, Shankar Mahadevan, and V. Selvaganesh. Srinivaswas a leading player of the group. Srinivas toured extensively across the world, in his own right - he played in Australia, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, and extensively and frequently across the United States and Canada

Tears are rolling as Shrinivas talks humbly.At Coimbatore his first concert at Thyagabtahma Aradhana celebration was a remarkable one.There was heavy rush and Thavil maestro's tavil couldn't be taken to the dais.D k Jayaraman sir who gave prior programme sat on the dais itself for Shrinivas concert.He said Shrinivas was a Garbha seeman.

If God has a choice to rebirth a human for his own selfish needs, he will select Srinivas garu without doubt .

I am so happy they're speaking English in this video. I try to learn as much as I can about Carnatic music, and the Indian culture behind it. It is not easy to learn by yourself. So delighted to hear U Srinivas speak directly. I am constantly astounded by what he plays. This whole video brings me great joy. Thank you for uploading it.

Mandolin Wizard Srinivas is superior to Wolf Gang Mozart, Beethovan and other legends of Western Classical music. Fate is cruel. God has taken over Srinivas to His abode to listen his music exclusively.
