I can't even remember how many times I listened to this song. Voleti Siir has a unique style for Thodi. It is sad that he was not nominated for Sangeetha Kalanidhi. No one on earth can match to him in any ragam.
Satya Manikonda: I absolutely agree with you. I discovered this only 2 days ago, and i have not been able to stop listening to this. His alapana is like a soft light that glows in the mind, even after i stop listening.
@@balaramaaxz I am sure he would have got SK. He joins the non-SK greats such as MDR, Ramnad Krishnan, Mali, S Balachandar, Rajaratnam Pillai (Lalgudi doesn't count, he was offered and he refused) Some of these would have been considered but they died in their middle age, like Voleti garu did.
Yes I fully agree with these comments. Music does not belong to Tamil.Nadu alone. There are even today unrecognised musicians in the state's of AP & karnataka, who can be merited on a much higher scale
During his time the SK award was essentially decided by Semmangudi every year and not on merit. The fact that he did not belong to the Madras Mylapore clique also worked against him Absolute legend with few equals

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಿಟಿ ಇನ್ಸ್ಟಿಟ್ಯೂಟ್ ಮೈದಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂತು ರಾಮೋತ್ಸವದ ಸಂಗೀತ ಕೇಳಿದ ಅನುಭವವಾಯಿತು. ಬಹಳ ಸಂತೋಷ.

you are so right! nedunuri was given kalanidhi; nookala was give padma bhshan; voleti is the Bade Gulam of south!!
Satya Manikonda: absolutely Voleti Venkateshwarulu is a great singer.

No one has sung Thodi like Voleti. He lives for ever. My father too , was a great fan of Voleti ji.
What an amazing Thodi!!! I have never heard thodi like this!!!
Why was he not recognized is my biggest doubt.
A 1974 recording of a concert in Krishna Gana Sabha with MSG and Vellore Ramabadran.

Amazing chest voice...this guy is an oxygen tank..don't know why he still didn't get an SK
