After a long break we had a good reason to stop what we were doing to share the magical experience of Arun Shenoy’s music. It is a matter of pride that an accomplished musician from Manipal and our brethern has been nominated for a Grammy. The sight of a gifted Saraswat holding a golden gramaphone is indeed quite a wishful dream which we pray may come true at the earliest
We recently had the privilege of interviewing Sarath Kumar Prabhu, a young GSB achiever along with some other senior members. Sarath Kumar has also released a Konkani movie, Nandu, in the past. We are glad to share here the latest directorial masterpiece of our own Sarath released through his flagship banner – GoSree Movies. The movie, though in Malayalam, is a great piece of artistic work by our own brethern. Will invite all to watch this promo video and wish Sarath Kumar all the very best in his endeavor.
With his continued generosity, Shri Kiran Kamath shares with us an exclusive album – Achyutananta Govinda, which was recorded as a personal effort for lovers of Kannada devotional music. Radio Idli is glad to share the complete album with encouragement and permission from Shri Kiran Kamath. Feel free to listen and buy the mp3 download of the album if you like, and would like to support Konkani Artists and Radio Idli.
A casual meeting at Pravin Kamath’s residence turned out to be a great extempore interview which we captured for many more eyes to see. It was a meeting with three great Konkani Achievers – Shri G. Krishna Rao (Konkani Theater veteran), Sarathkumar Prabhu ( Young film maker of “Nandu” fame) and Payyanur Ramesh Pai (Chairman, Kerala Konkani Academy). Here is the video for your viewing
After the encouraging response coupled by the treasured content from Smt. Anandi Kamath, we couldnt wait any longer before releasing the remaining gems from the interview. When it comes to presenting lifetime accomplishments, who could do a better job than a proud son himself. And thats where we have Dr. Rajeev Sreenivasa, founder of a leading digital agency, and son of Anandi-mai, speaking about the achievements of his mother. We also have two beautiful song and poetry compositions rendered by the author herself!
We take immense joy in publishing a spot interview of Smt. Anandi Kamath, a great Konkani author, poet with an amazing voice. The video was taken at her courteous residence where we had a great time speaking with her hanks to a meet arranged by Shri Payyanur Ramesh Pai. The joy of bringing this video is even more on the occasion of her 80th birthday which was on 19th of March.
