On August 16, a unique incident occurred in the USA’s Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, where the Tamil version of the epic Ramayanam (Kamba Ramayanam) by the 13th -century Tamil poet, Kambar, was rewarded to the Piano, Violin, Mridangam and Kanjira in the entire auditorium.

The enthusiastic people of music and literature were treated with a specific experience, when the verses were brought alive in a full classical music concert. It is said that this is the first time, it was organized by Thevishnupuram literary circle of the USA. Some verses from Kamba Ramayanam The first was set for music, but they were usually part of the list of large performances. An entire concert has never been dedicated to the epic with a peno, violin, mridangam and a complete -scale band of the skimp.

Rale Rajan, who has created a place for himself in this style, where the poem mixes with classical music, is the man behind music. He has previously done some work from Sangam poetry, cooperating with Durham Symphony, one of whom was adopted as a anthem of the World Tamil Conference in 2019. His mixed knowledge of Indian and Western classical music inspired him to dream of using Cords to increase the raga of caarnatic music.

13 verses, selected from the entire collection of verses Kamba Ramayanam WereEssentially one of the some important moments in the epic. Carnatic musician and playback singer Priya Krrish has given shloka with grace and cleverness. He has infected the right bhav in each composition, making his way through complex routes, complicating the audience, many overwhelmed.
Priya was supported by Mridangam by Raju Balan, Uma Mahesh on Violin on Uma Mahesh, Sai Shankar Ganesh on Piano and Skanda Narayanan on Kanjira. The entire band worked with commendable coordination as they make their way through string and collision magic during Kalpneshwar, Korvis and Thaniawarthanams.
Another aspect that separated this concert was that it was a great experience. While music and words originally mixed, the background of the stage came alive with deliciously manufactured digital paintings from epic. Krishna Kumar was responsible for establishing this atmosphere, which withdrew to the audience to bear the witness and to be a part of some important moments. The sounding and lighting further enhanced the concert.

Most of the times, the poetic talent of Karnataka compositions does not go to anyone’s attention, either due to a language obstruction or lack of knowledge about art. The narrator, Pazni Jyoti, was brought into a very important element of praise of poetry with an infectious enthusiasm. He led the audience through the magical words of the literary Titan, called the nuances, exposed the literary equipment and offered a comment on the lines. His passion for epic and understanding increased the experience. This was a great extra for the concert, which helped the audience understand and join the poem more.
The concert can be called one of those methods as a success, how soon it absorbs the youth in the audience-NRI parents with specific American-born children, perhaps, converted to the avered fans of Kambar. That evening was the power of music. It was an enough complication to please a connoisseur, casual music enthusiastic or bin call. People were rewarded with one kind of music-literary experience.
