Shobana performing at HCL Concerts on 19th July at Kamani Auditorium.
Delhi, July 20, 2019: HCL Concerts, an initiative of HCL, a leading global conglomerate, hosted a mesmerizing evening with celebrated percussionist and Grammy Award winner Vidwan Vikku Vinayakram and National Award-winning actress and dancer Shobana at Kamani Auditorium, Delhi.
The concert witnessed a unique ‘3G’ act, signifying three generations coming together, with the odd melodic element being provided vocally in the form of Konokols that beautifully complemented the percussions. Vidwan Vikku Vinayakran, the noted Grammy Award winner and Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan recipient, enchanted the audience with his performance on Ghatam. He was accompanied by his son Selvaganesh on drums and his grandson S Swaminathan.
The concert concluded with a rich and visually appealing Bharatanatyam presentation titled ‘Trance’ by Shobana. Her performance depicted a fusion of the mythology of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu along with the legend of Mary Magdalene, the most controversial disciple of Jesus. National Award Winner and a Filmfare awardee, Shobana is globally celebrated for curating unique Bharatnatyam dance acts and fusing it with multiple instruments.
The concert was attended by approximately 600 people, who applauded the unique presentation of the artists.
