Stringhaara - Keeravani Raga Tanam Pallavi | Ekatvam Holi Music Fest 2023

The Ekatvam Holi Music Fest continued on March 12th, 2023 with its sixth theme, "Stringhaara." The violin duet of Akkarai Sister Subbulakshmi and Sornalatha performed, accompanied by Kulur Jayachandra Rao on the mridangam and Arunkumar on the percussion. The concert began with a Varnam in Raga Kanakangi and continued with Swathi Thirunal's krithi "Deva Deva Kalayamithe" in Mayamalavagoula.
The duo continued their performance with "Endhuku Itu," a Krithi in Raga Mandhari composed by Patnam Subramya Iyer, followed by "Akhilandeshwari" in Raga Dwijawanthi and "Attukadara" in Manoranjani. They presented an RTP in Keeravani, which was another highlight of their performance. During the thani, Sornalatha presented konnakol along with the percussion team, which added another layer of complexity to the performance.
The concert concluded with a Thillana in the Raga SindhuBhairavi, leaving the audience mesmerized. The performance was a treat for the music lovers who attended the festival. The duet's excellent coordination and skillful playing, along with the brilliant accompaniment of the mridangam and percussion, made the concert a memorable one. The audience was left spellbound by the exceptional talent of the performers and their soulful renditions. The Stringhaara theme was a fitting tribute to the beauty of stringed instruments, and the concert showcased the depth and range of Indian classical music

No surprise Akkarai Sisters stand tall as the foremost artists of this generation. Amazing mastery in Vocal, Violin and Konnakkol! Wish I was there to attend this concert live! Shri Jayachandra Rao on the Mridangam and Shri Arunkumar on Morsing and other Rhythms were amazing! Wishing them the very best.

Konnakol by Ms Akkarai Sornalatha..! Unbelievable surprise. Percussion is as deep and specialised as her own published fields of expertise. I am watching in dismay in a good way, that she can do this one too ..! It doesn’t matter it was a bit feminine while konnokol requires a masculine oomph to be effective and appealing. Immense respects to her vidhwat in every field of Carnatic music🎉🎉
