The Story in Brief
The Hans India reports that vocalist Srinath Nair led an ensemble including Rajdeep Mukherjee, Kaanjana Sriram and Sameel Sikkani on tabla at Taramati Baradari in Hyderabad. The event, 'Monsoon Magic: Rising Stars from Kolkata to Kochi' by Chowrangee, blended Hindustani classical, ghazal, folk and contemporary sounds.
Dr Santanu Paul, President of Chowrangee, called it a spellbinding mix of languages and genres, evoking legends like Hariharan and Ghulam Ali. The audience responded with standing ovations.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that Indian classical music is dying are exaggerated when young musicians like Srinath Nair draw standing ovations in Hyderabad. The real question is whether such fusion events, mixing ghazals and folk, can build lasting audiences beyond one monsoon evening. The number of repeat attendees at future Chowrangee shows will tell if this was a passing shower or a new season.
