All night music festival in Mangaluru featuring senior & budding musicians, with vocalist Ravikiran Manipal starting the last concert.
No composition than “Manava Kaahe Dhoond Phire Maati Ke Math Mandir Mein”, wherein lyricist asks person not to search for God in places of worship, looked apt for vocalist Ravikiran Manipal to start his concert on December 17 morning, which was last of six concerts of the all night music festival held at the BEM School auditorium.
Mr. Manipal started his sublime one-hour long concert at 6.30 a.m. on December 17 with this composition of his guru set to Raag Lalath in the slow paced vilambit taal. This was followed by another composition “Bhora Bhayi Shyama Nahi Aaye” set fast paced ‘dhurt’ taal. He then sung his own composition on his guru, which was followed by popular composition “Jogiya Morey Ghar Aaye”. He ended his concert at 7.30 a.m. by presenting a soulful composition on the Lord.
Mr. Manipal was ably accompanied by senior tabla player Pandit Aravind Kumar Azad and Dnyaneshwar Sonawane on harmonium.
The refurbished old auditorium of BEM school on Car Street, which looked similar to Nadgirwada in Kundagol of Dharwad — the residence of Kirana Gharana doyen Sawai Gandharva, served as an apt venue for the music festival organised by Swaraanand Sangeet Pratishthan.
