Date Oct 27th 2019
On the occasion of my birthday, (October 27th) my sister S Saundarya and I are pleased to present to the Rasikas , the most popular rendering of my Great Grandmother Bharat Ratna M.S Subbulakshmi and my Grandmother Dr Radha Viswanathan, "Kurai Onrum Illai".
This composition of the late C Rajagopalachari (Rajaji) set to tune by Kadayanallur Sri S Venkataraman in the Ragas Sivaranjani, Kapi and Sindhu Bhairavi went on to enrapture the hearts and minds of music lovers all over the world.
This rendering by my sister and is exactly the same way as taught by my Grandmother Radha Patti and I dedicate the song to her memory.
Kurai Onrum Illai.
