Kannan Varugindra Neram by Aruna Sairam | Oothukkadu Venkatasubbaiyer | KrishnaJayanthi

On Krishna Jayanthi today, I am sharing with you 'Kannan Varugindra Neram'. This composition by Oothukkadu Venkatasubbaiyer was inspired by a Kavadi Chindu (Tamil folk melody). It beautifully captures the longing for Krishna's arrival, the gentle sound of his flute carried on the breeze, and how nature itself seems to lose its splendour in his presence. Is this a dream, or is it reality? This clip is from Bhakti Utsav, Delhi, 2006. *About Aruna Sairam* Aruna Sairam (Padma Shri) is a Carnatic vocalist, composer, collaborator, humanitarian, and speaker. In addition to her performances in India, Aruna has taken Carnatic music to the global arena, at prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall. Currently Vice Chairperson of the Sangeet Natak Akademi, Delhi, she was appointed in 2008 by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu as Advisor to the Department of Culture. Aruna works towards the musical education of underprivileged students, through the Nadayogam Trust, which she founded in 2011. Aruna is grateful for the training she received under her mother Rajalakshmi Sethuraman and the legendary T. Brinda, and the mentorship from several masters throughout her musical journey. Her music erased geographic borders when she was the first to incorporate Abhang, a Western Indian musical form, into a traditional, South Indian concert. *Stay Up To Date* Official Website: http://smarturl.it/ArunaSairamWebsite Like on Facebook: http://smarturl.it/ArunaSairamFacebook Follow on Instagram:   / arunasairam.carnaticmusic   Subscribe on YouTube: http://smarturl.it/ArunaSairamYouTube Follow on Twitter: http://smarturl.it/ArunaSairamTwitter #Carnatic #CarnaticMusic #IndianClassicalMusic #ArunaSairam -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
