An amazing performance by these American kids! From the alaapana to the end
of the keerthana it was a wonderful experience. Shruthi, Laya and perfect
Talam !! Congratulations to Ethnomusic Department of Wesleyan University.
How long you are training these kids? Muthuswamy Diktshithar's
"Kamalambike" in Sri Ragam is not an easy one to master. I heard it several
times. Congratulations to Mr. Balu and Mr. David Nelson for taking pains to
teach classical carnatic music to these dedicated kids !!
I was quite moved by their performance. They sang not only in excellent
shruti, but with bhava too. That is no small feat. To sing like this takes
a great deal of practice. Even her alapana was good. As a Carnatic vocalist
myself, I was quite stunned. They are indeed very fortunate to have such a
good teacher, and the teacher is very fortunate to have a group of such
dedicated students. Truly a magnificent performance. My congratulations to
the entire group. Yesh Prabhu, Plainsboro, NJ
Amazing Alapana and of course superb mrdangam performance. Long live
Karnatak music at Wesleyan University. It is so interesting that so few of
those who have commented realize that Wesleyan's program in Karnatak music
has been going on for over 35 years. This level of performance is not new,
although this is one of the best I have heard from Wesleyan Students.
Congratulations to B. Balasubrahmaniyan and David Nelson!
Hats off ! Music has no language barrier. This is a combination of
Dedicated Students with an excellent Guru Mr.Balu. Great rendition and long
live this group. Somewhere someone has to continue with culture and
tradition.. these students have proved it. best wishes with a standing
ovation Music lover ps:Students back in India are into RAP.and break
dance.what an irony!!
Hats off to these great americans of Carnatic music and their Guru which
shows
the amount of practice they have been doing for so much of perfection.
Indeed
such Foreign carnatic professionals are to be invited by SOUTH INDIA
arranging their concerts in different cities so as to honour these Great
Souls. What a soulfull
rendition. World is proud of such musicians.
I am a person of Indian origin but embraced American citizenship and live
in Texas with my family following all South Indian traditions and culture.
I am truly amazed at the high level of learnig achieved by the Americans
not belonging to Indian culture. I am so proud to be an American. Like
President-elect Obama said, "we can". Congratulations. Ganapathi

hey team wonderful. This 'Sri" ragam is so melodius. But more than the
Raga, the song, layam ans shruthi, look into the background of this song.
what is Nava Avarna. You people then will start a great new mystic and self
realizing journey. may the primordial Goddess lalitha Grace your efforts.
Incredible performance by non-indian students. Great command over
pronunciation along with techniques of carnatic music. Westerners ability
of doing things from their heart is highly exemplifies here. Accolades to
Mr. Balu for shaping them up on all fronts including in Carnatic Music
excellent rendition. It's surprising that somany non-indian folks have
taken sunch a keen interest in this music. The performance is of high class
both in shruthi and rendering of lyrics. Amazing talent and dedication.
Congratulations to all the students.
all carnatic musicians should help them. this is the best way to take our
carnatic music more step ahead. EXCELLENT GUYS . WE ARE HAPPY TO SEE YOU
ALL AND WHATEVER DOUBTS YOU CAN CHECK WITH MR.KJ YESUDAS - GHANA GHANDRVAN
LIVING IN THE USA.
Great - just one word - completely spellbound. Each one of them has lots of
grace from the Supreme lord. They showed great culture and humility on
stage. The teachers must be equally praised, hope they only keep growing
from here
Obviously this is an extraordinary effort. I would be very curious what
motivated/inspired this group to invest so much of their effort and time in
to learning this music. Needless to say every individual is extremely
talented.
It deserves all appreciation westerners playing carnatic music with proper
intonation and pronunciation that too taking up Dikshitar"s kriti. these
days they evince greater interest in our music-hats off
Mind blowing performance! Great effort on raga,diction and tala. Amazing
effort by these students and appreciate Mr.Balu for training them
beautifully. Looking forward to more performances.Good wishes.
remarkable. even to sit cross legged is a difficult exercise for foreigners
not to speak of mastering the raga and diction. Great effort indeed. Heard
it many times. congratulations to all of them.
