 Aruna
Sairam is the most sought after vocalist of
Carnatic Music today. During the December
2004 Chennai Music festival, Aruna's
concerts were sell-outs drawing
unprecedented numbers of audiences. In the
past few years Aruna's concerts invarious
cities, - be it Narada Gana Sabha in Chennai
or Le Theatre de la Ville in Paris - have
attracted record crowds that created
"traffic jams around the auditorium".
She straddles the national and international
music world with equal ease and popularity.
Her panache for innovation has brought her
accolades as a trail blazer in Carnatic
Music.
Recently the Outlook magazine made the
following observation : "M S Subbulakshmi’s
no more. But if there is any singer who
comes close to matching such purity of
voice, diction, impeccable Sruti alignment
and frill-free singing, it is Aruna Sairam". |
