Two friends. Two wonderful singers. Came together for a chat for M-Pod. One of them interviewed the other. The "meri awaz suno" fame Pradip Somasundaram interviews state award winning singer Gayathri in this week's M-Pod episode.

M-Pod has covered an interview with Pradip earlier and you're all familiar with him now. Through my blog and M-Pod. I think I don't have to explain more about the wonderful talent like Pradip. You know Gayathri through the songs like Thumbi kinnaaram from the movie " Naran", Chaanchaadiyaadi from "Makalkku", Enthe nee kanna (state award winning song), Deena dayaalo raama from "Arayannangalude veedu" etc. You also heard her singing in Maestero Ilaiyaraja's Thiruvaasagam.

In this conversation they talk about:

  • Gayathri as a person
  • Her entry into the musical career
  • Advantages/disadvantages of learning Carnatic & Hindustani music for a singer
  • Different styles/schools in Hindustani music - With vocal examples
  • What makes a singer to stand apart from the other singers
  • Song from the movie Makalkku

Please let Pradip and Gayathri know your thoughts on the episode and their singing. Let them know your wishes and prayers for them in the following email IDs:

Pradip:     pradipsomasundaran(at)gmail(dot)com
Gayathri:  gayathriasokan(at)yahoo(dot)com

PART II OF THE PROGRAM WILL BE FOLLOWED NEXT WEEK.

Special thanks to Sri. Pradip Somasundaram and Ms. Gayatri for their un-conditional support.
