RE-TELECAST OF SOORYAGAYATHRI DEVOTIONAL SONGS AND LIVE INTERACTION
In the ongoing series of e1e1 online events - 'Continuing Conversations', we had P. Unnikrishnan who is one of the most respected singers in the Indian Carnatic music and playback singing community, with a successful career spanning nearly 3 decades perform along with his daughter on the 20th of December 2020.
Over 400 people participated in the live event over Zoom, YouTube, and Facebook, with requests pouring in for renditions of their most famous tracks. Unnikrishnan and Uthara Unnikrishnan delighted the viewers with enchanting performances of devotional songs like 'Venkatachala Nilayam Vaikuntavasam..', 'Pibare Ramarasam..', 'Kurai Ondrum Illai Maraimoorthi Kanna..'
A brief overview video of the e1e1 program was presented for the benefit of those attending these events for the first time. One of the US e1e1 team leads, Jayadev, offered his perspective about the program specifically emphasising on the program's current focus on girl child education. An update on behalf of all the partner schools by Mr Rajashekar, Chairman of the Mandya school, outlined all the measures the schools were taking in these past months, coping with the Covid Pandemic.
It was a wonderful experience for the team to organize this virtual event, to brighten up people’s day during these difficult times and spread the message of love and oneness.
Music transcends language, culture, and brings people together in times of crisis. When we listen to music, for a precious, few minutes we are able to forget that we are living through tough times and simply rejoice in the fact that despite everything, there are things in our lives, like music, that we can take succour in.
The recent online global event - ‘Generations of Music’ hosted by the US e1e1 team to commemorate India’s 73rd Independence Day did precisely that, with over 500 e1e1ers from across the globe coming together to bask in these moments of wellbeing.
A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who made the event a special one. It was a great pleasure and honour for us to have Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and his sons Amaan and Ayaan join us in the celebrations with their magical rendition. They are part of the e1e1 family, and we are humbled by their continued support.
