murari or bhairavi

Gold medalist from Madras University, music is her life. When I first attended her concert on a marghazhi evening.......... somewhere in the year 2000 at Luz Chruch Club, I never knew much about this personality.

Later on,I read so many articles in press about her concert held at various places
- from Tiruvaiyaru to Cleveland. She is Gayatri Girish.

If I am not mistaken she is from Nanganallur, the palce near to my locality, sourrounded by both music and bhramin society (hey! don't mistake me that I talk about caste)

Recently, I had oppurtunity to attend Pancharatna Kritis program held at Chettinad Vidyashram (organnised by Jaya TV and it was telecated as Repulic Day program). The program was totally out of world feeling for the entire 120 minutes.Many carnatic artists participated in that; to name few, Sudha, Ganesh, Bombay sisters and so may others, Gayatri was one among. I could met her personally and speak to her few words.

But why these things in this blog ?........Youngsters should think of learning to understand and appreciate the depth, range and the varieties that carnatic music has to offer.(especially when visual media and artificial music instruments like key board becoming more and more in practice). Let us develop traditional music - murari or bhairavi

Suggestions,ideas and views regarding this are welcome.

Looking forward to your comments
