"Now its done and over", he said, still smarting at what he thought must have been a slight. But he could not make it known to the hosts nor did he think it fit to do so. Prasad had a point about the manner in which a senior artiste must be presented. "But then few people ask for tambura artistes….who wants to now learn playing the tambura…it also needs learning but few are learning it," he said.

Prasad says that despite the use of electronic tambura ( and he gives full credit to Radel's Raj Narayan for making it) nothing can really replace the original. "What use is it when I gave them all in writing?" "It is important.just the way you call Madurai T N Seshagopalan and Madurai Mani Iyer…names must be called out the way we use them," he fumed gently. Prasad was boiling inside because the emcee had not presented his name the way it has to be, prefixing his name with that of the town he hails from. Off stage I chatted with Hulikal Prasad, a veteran tambura player who has accompanied some greats and the rest in south India. These are the kind of artistes you may have seen often on stage but remain in the shadows. Three tambura artistes and one mridangist were honored at the Founders Day event of Sree Ramaseva Mandali in Chamarajpet on Sunday, April 5 evening. When a senior artiste is not treated too well formally on stage he boils no end. Yesudoss is to perform this evening ( Saturday) at Chamarajpet. The hero of the day was left to be on the side. Just as the event closed, came in actor-politicain Ambarish and his wife, Sumalatha and all the media folks clicked furiously and the hosts also got excitedly around them.

He tells them even between songs at a concert. Yesudoss shares a lot of anecdotes nowadays when he is at the podium. Today, he dwelt on religion and the Ultimate, music and lessons learnt from his dad ("When I was stepping into the film field people suggested to me that I should change my name to get opportunities and when I told my Dad he said if that had to be done I should come back"). We got here a tad late and the auditorium was packed and Yesudoss was speaking. Yesudoss was at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Bangalore ( Race Course Road), here to receive a national award instituted by the film star of yesteryears, Saroja Devi who resides in this city, where the daytime temperature is climbing past 33 degrees but the nights are cool at 22 degrees. K J Yesudoss does.Īnd as one rasika in his 70s told me, 'The voice is coarse now but still rooted in the classical." The man commands a big fan following even in this age.
