The Carnatica Brothers, K.N.Shashikiran and Chitravina P.Ganesh will perform a marathon vocal concert starting from 9 am, on the 9th of September. The concert will go on for as long as the artistes are able to perform.

The concert is an attempt to spread World peace and harmony and is dedicated to the people who lost their lives in the 9/11 tragedy, the tsunami, the earthquakes and the recent civil wars in Lebanon and SriLanka. It is also an attempt to set a record in Carnatic vocal music, for non-stop singing. It may be noted that Chitravina Ganesh already holds the World Record for the longest recital on a slide instrument. He played the Chitravina non-stop for over 32 hours in May 2004.

Shashikiran and Ganesh will start their musical marathon with the blessings of percussion maestro Shri Umayalapuram Sivaraman. They will be also accompanied by several leading artistes like:

V.L.Kumar
Mysore V.Srikanth
Sherttalai Sivakumar
Arunachala Karthik

Anayampatti Venkatasubramaniam
Karaikkal Venkatasubramaniam
M.S.Ananthakrishnan

Mridangam:

Umayalapuram Sivaraman
Guruvayur Durai
Mannargudi Easwaran
Srimushnam Rajarao
T.K.Ramakrishnan
Tanjore Kumar

Nirmal Narayanan

Ghatam:

If not world peace and harmony, at least this 'marathon' effort of Carnatica Brothers brings together many violinists and percussionists on one stage together -though in succession perhaps.
Such unity, may it prevail in the world (unity means peace and harmony). The concert is free and rasikas can go when they can and stay as long as they wish to. There is no politics involved here, only music, I presume. And to hear veterans like M.S.Anantharaman, Umaiyalpuram, Guruvayur and others...
After all, charity begins at home...

Hi all,

It's been 21 hours since the Carnatica brothers started singing. The concert is still on and is expected to end at 9 am today, the 10th of Sept. They have rendered 94 compositions until now.

Their enthusiasm is infectious and their music blemishless - even at this hour - something that has to be seen to be believed!

A detailed song list will be put up later.

Nivedita,

I was trying to find more details about this marathon concert over the net, but am unable to get any info anywhere. Even the Carnatica website announcement hasn't been updated. Could you please fill us in on the details like the total duration, accompanists etc? A list would also be greatly appreciated.

An achievement that all Carnatic lovers should be proud of! Has someone documented the event with a full song list? It would be interesting to see what ragas and kritis were covered. Were there some RTPs too?

What a repertoire, that too of masterpieces!

Nivedita, am I right in assuming that the occasional Varnam in-between kritis is when a new set of accompanists took over?

Remarkable achievement. Good for CM, Good for Society and Good for them. I know the disciples of Sri Puttaparti SaiBaba performing bhajans for 24hrs on his birthday. But even that the followers do turns by turns. Here 2 guys performing for whole 24hrs. That 113 is darbariKannada, must be having the 3rd octave a bit. The spectrum is wide and composers too. God bless them and their efforts.

Lakshman told me a while ago on this forum, that the Tillana is in Sivaranjani, NOT Misra Sivaranjani...

Overall, a nice list.

Nivedita,
Thank you. What a feat!
I do not see a variety of accompanists as we were given to believe. The ones who did come performed as devotedly as the singers, one can guess. M.S. Anantharaman's name was mentioned in the earlier info. Being the gentleman he is, he wouldn't have absented himself but for health reasons...

arasi,

Almost all the accompanists that I've mentioned in my first post, including Shri Umayalapuram Sivaraman and Shri M.S.Anantharaman accompanied them. In the song list, I've only mentioned the vidwans who accompanied them during the night.

Please see http://www.carnatica.net/nvr/cbros-marathon-sep2006.htm

Is a recording of this mammoth concert being brought out? If so, can someone here post details on how to buy the CDs. Thank you.

The Limca Book of Records has recognized this concert as a national record and sent the Brothers a certificate, which has been put up here: http://carnaticabrothers.blogspot.com/2009/10/were-in-limca-book-of-records.html

Also, the Brothers are currently on a concert tour of Europe and have been performing in places where Carnatic music has never been heard before. They've blogged about their experience here: http://carnaticabrothers.blogspot.com/

nivedita, the brothers note on their blog that they've composed and sung pallavis in French and German - could you provide details on these? Recordings will be even nicer; and I'd urge a special CD set with these European-themed pallavis.
