SPB in seattle

Yep, our very own S P Balasubramanium was here in Seattle (about a month ago, so this post should have been posted long back, but nevertheless..) to perform for a fund raiser to build a Hindu temple here (to extend the current one to be precise). It was great to hear the great singer. But, unfortunately, it wasnt a lot of fun for the kannada fans who where there. He only sang one kannada song.. He did mention in the beginning of the show ofcourse, not to worry about the language of the songs but enjoy the music.

It would have been true if it were for classical music, but film songs? I dont think so. The song gives an entire different meaning and u enjoy it at a different level if u know the language or if you are atleast familiar with the song, heard it a couple of times to get the music, and kow that it is a hit in a different language.

Atleast, this is one of the advantages of being here.. u get to see a lot of celebs perform live.
