The interesting and fascinating aspect is that the composition of BGM by Sri Dorai avl, which in this music ensemble adds value to each and every song performed. The idea of this presentation of Sri Guruvayur Durai is to present Carnatc krithis in a fusion form without disturbing the values of each and every traditional aspect of the krithi. Every one present had the great oppurtunity to see the other sides of Sri Guruvayur Dorai - as a singer and also a great Team leader.
Each and every one praised the effort of the Guru and also the children for their wonderful performance and couple of good offers for this Laya Guruthvam presentation in good forums has already been made to Sri Guruvayur Dorai avl.
Smt Kunnakudy Bala the co-organiser of the concert was all praise for the team and had made a good PA system arrangements at the venue. The young vidhwans left the venue with a great feeling of having performed under the great Mrudhangam Mestro, which is the right start for their Diwali celebrations.
On behalf of LayaGuruthvam we wish you all a Happy Deepavali.
