Karaikudi Mani and Harishankar 2/2

Brilliant percussion duet by two of Prince Rama Varma's heroes, Guru Karaikudi Mani and G.Harishankar during one of Varmaji's concerts during the Swathi Sangeethotsavam at Kuthiramalika palace, Trivandrum, in 1998. The festival takes place every year from the 6th till
the 12th of January these days.

Hariji is amazing ! He always emanates a feeling of love and affection towards him for anyone watching him. Such a nice and innocent soul. Too painful for his early passing away....God bless his soul! Thank you very much for posting all these! God bless you and Varmaji...

Exactly 21 years ago!!! Amazing performance.

[@musiquebox]

You are most welcome. (I don't speak Malayalam but Varmaji kindly translated your kind message for me.) I am so glad to post these videos too :)

[@musiquebox]

I'd have loved it too for sure but this is all I got :-( Varmaji said the audio and video are out of synch but gave me this part since it is so rare to get videos of these two heros of Varmaji together.

[@musiquebox]

Yes, he is.
