The Lakshminarayana Global Music Festival at Kamarajar Hall the other day provided a unique example of this phenomenon. As Kathak maestro ... FROM THE ARCHIVES Tamil Isai The performance by M. M. Dandapani Desigar at the Tamil Isai annual conference at the Annamalai Manram on the inauguration day was satisfying, but not exciting. He built the concert around an elaborate Kambhoji. His voice though seasoned and ...
