Two friends. Two wonderful singers. Came together for a chat for M-Pod. One of them interviewed the other. The "meri awaz suno" fame Pradip Somasundaram interviews state award winning singer Gayathri in this episode.
M-Pod has covered an interview with Pradip earlier and you're all familiar with him now. You know Gayathri through the songs like Thumbi kinnaaram from the movie Naran, Chaanchaadiyaadi from Makalkku, Enthe nee kanna (state award winning song), Deena dayaalo raama from Arayannangalude veedu etc. You also heard her singing in Maestero Ilaiyaraja's oratario Thiruvaasagam.
In this conversation they talk about:
Gayathri as a person

Different styles/schools in Hindustani music - With vocal examples
What makes a singer to stand apart from the other singers

This was so different from a conventional interview. Such a good idea to remain in the background and let a professional singer interview Gayathri. Congratulations for this rare human quality : humility !
I am also very happy that M-Pod has found a female voice after so many interviews of males!
You are doing a wonderful service to music lovers all over the world. Waiting for more.
