Margazhi Redemption – Suswara Naada – 26 December 2020

And like that, 2020 found itself some redemption.

As I watched this momentous concert of Ranjani-Gayatri performing in front of a live audience after 9 months through my inadequate screen, I was bitter and envious for a few seconds and then felt overwhelming happiness – the sight of people being finally able to witness these musicians doing their brilliant thing, the sight of musicians finally being able to get their art across to the rasikas in real time, and space. The vicarious joy I experienced was enough to fill me with gratitude. Ah, the first wave of applause, as the artistes got on stage, after so long… Music to my ears.
