Sanjay Subramaniam @ IITM
I just returned from a concert of Sanjay “Dhoni” Subramaniam at IITM. I’ve seen Sanjay perform some 4 years ago at a Margazhi concert and was kind of expecting a similar figure to enter the stage. I was surprised to see a man with long brownish hair and french beard appearing before us. He looked more like a percussionist than a singer.
But that was before the actual concert began. Sanjay’s voice was something that I was not impressed with in the beginning. But as the concert proceeded, he voice just grew on me and it was just bliss to listen to him. What I liked most were the sudden twists and turns he gives while singing the sangathis and his innovative kalpanaswaras. The audience was just spell bound and continuously showed its appreciation for his alapanas and kalapanaswaras. I wish I had a better knowledge of the raagas to appreciate his alapanas.
This concert was organized as a part of CLASFEST-2006 by Music Club of IIT Madras. Other concerts scheduled this week as a part of this festival can be viewed here.
