Accompanied by Srinaath Kidambi Perangur on violin and L. Subramanian on mridangam, Hamsa&#8217;s performance was a beautiful blend of tradition and innovation. The main piece for the evening was a combination of two Thevarams in pann Kurinji (ragam Harikambhoji) by Saint Thirugnanasambandhar: \u201cElla Ulagamum\u201d and \u201cKalai Nan Mamalar.\u201d This latter piece showcased Hamsa\u2019s Fulbright project, which explores incorporating Thevaram into Carnatic concert formats. The concert also featured the classic \u201cEnna Thavam\u201d in ragam Kapi, along with Kanchi Mahaperiyava\u2019s \u201cMaitreem Bhajata\u201d and the timeless bhajan \u201cRaghupati Raghava\u201d to reflect the American Center and US Consulate General\u2019s values of peace, multiculturalism, and interfaith unity.\u00a0 Attendees praised the thoughtful combination of mainstream and lesser-known compositions, appreciating the American Center\u2019s support for Margazhi celebrations and promotion of local art forms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2643,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"event-category":[],"class_list":["post-2642","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>U.S Fulbrighter Hamsa Shanmugam enthrals audience at the American Centre, Chennai - Welcome to<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/magnongroup.in\/usief_new\/event\/u-s-fulbrighter-hamsa-shanmugam-enthrals-audience-at-the-american-centre-chennai\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"U.S Fulbrighter Hamsa Shanmugam enthrals audience at the American Centre, Chennai - Welcome to\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"On December 19, 2024, U.S. Fulbright-Nehru Student Researcher Hamsa Shanmugam captivated the audience at the American Center in Chennai with a Carnatic vocal concert.
