last week on monday(26th feb), a dream came true. i saw ustad ji live, attended his concert
touched his feet,

took some photographs with him. it was really a dream come true,
which i had been dreaming for more than 10 years.

ustad zakir hussain along with u.srinivas(mandolin), sivamani(drum) and shankar mahadevan(singer)
it was a part of their group called "remember shakti". at tata theatre, ncpa, bombay.
remember shakti consists of 5 artists: john mcLaughlin(guitar), zakir hussain (tabla), u. srinivas (mandolin),
shankar mahadevan (singer), and v. selvaganesh (kanjira, ghatam, mridangam)
so only 3 participated in the show.
u.srinivas played it well, it was a wonderful experience. liked this guy, very talented player.
the most amazing part of ustad ji's playing style is the variations that he shows on his tabla
be it different kind of sounds, or exact matching of the pitch at which fellow artists sing/play.
anyway, my uploads will be of u.srinivas, 2 pieces of music on carnatic classical
sorry it's not song, it's just instrumental.
