Vasantha Kannan releases Thillana with daughter Calcutta K Srividya & son Mohan Kannan

Panaji, Apr 8 (UNI) Renowned and leading Carnatic Classical violinist, composer and Guru Vasantha Kannan has released Thillana with daughter and disciple Calcutta K Srividya and son Mohan Kannan. The composition, performed by the trio with Vasantha Kannan and Calcutta K Srividya both on vocals as well as violin, and Mohan Kannan providing support through guitar and backing vocals, has brought out a unique experience for the audience.
Thillana is a rhythmic piece in Carnatic music that is generally performed at the end of a concert and also widely used in classical Indian dance performances. This is the first ever known classical composition in the rare 'Raagam', Kadyutha Ganthi.
Speaking exclusively to UNI, ''Carnatic music, or any music for that matter, is always evolving. However, it is important for musicians and composers to be true to themselves when they create a piece or a song. We always compose according to what we feel best expresses our idea at the time, without worrying about whether the song is following a trend or otherwise. In fact, most of the time, it is far more rewarding and exciting to hit upon an idea that is removed from any trend, as that sounds innovative and fresh, and is even likely to inspire trends of its own. Even in such instances, we always make a choice of whether to use this idea or not depending on what justifies and enhances the overall composition the most.''
