Prince Rama Varma gave a concert (duet) with Amrutha Venkatesh as a tribute to their beloved Parassala Ponnammal Teacher, the veteran musician, for her 90th Birthday at Valiayasala, Trivandrum. He considers this a great privilege, and they were accompanied by the wonderful team of Avaneeshwaram Sri S.R.Vinu, Palakkad Sri K.S.Maheshkumar and Perukavu Sri P.L.Sudheer. He prays that for Ponnammal Teachers 100th birthday, SHE will give a concert and they would be in the audience, listening and enjoying the music. May that come true! Here are some excerpts from the concert, which began with the first song Ponnammal Teacher herself sang at the Navarathri Mandapam for the first time, nearly a decade ago. . Daani Saamajendra -Thodi Pada Varnam - Parasala Ponnammal https://youtube/watch?v=dQa0kfgYzNo https://youtube/watch?v=g7kjsf3FAc4 . Thodi Pada Varnam - PRV and AV https://youtube/watch?v=ifaxQkW6FTY He learnt this specially to perform at this concert, from Amrutha Venkatesh, as she had already sung this in the Mandapam years back. A real tribute! . Ninnaye Rathi - Sindhubhairavi - Mahakavi Bharathiyar https://youtube/watch?v=sb6BQNR7_8o In every line of this kriti,Kannamma is repeated. Prince gives it a personal touch by singing Ponnamma instead of Kannamma in the concluding line! :-) . Japath Japath - ragamalika Bhajan - Swathi Thirunal (tuned by Varmaji) https://youtube/watch?v=j4K10icUPfY .
