Aarti Nayak - the rising talent on the Indian classical music scene

Thanks to the live web-cast of the Music event coinciding with the Punar Prathista in Mangalore, a lot of us got exposed to the rising talents in the musical field within the community.

What amazed me was the huge number of high quality music talent that was on display - the GSB community is indeed highly gifted in the performing arts.

One talent indeed stood out - and this was Aarti Nayak, the daughter of Pundit Ramrao Nayak  Despite her youth she showed amazing control over her voice, and sang some very difficult compositions such as the opening "Srinivasa.." in Raag Hamsadhwani.  Here is the link to the recording of the program - definitely worth a watch.




She was ably supported on the harmonium by Sudhir Nayak who played some difficult pieces exceptionally well, and on the Tabla by the renowned Pundit Omkar Gulwadi.

I predict Aarti will go a long way.
