The Sangeet Natak Akademi announces its winners for the year 2018
An interesting name in the list is that of singer Suresh Wadkar, still remembered for his songs in the Kamal Haasan and Sridevi-starrer Sadma. It is not often that a name from Bollywood makes it to the coveted list by the Akademi.
A little over a decade ago, Oscar-winner AR Rahman had said at an album launch, “After travelling extensively, when I come back to Chennai, I am often asked why I choose to live here? The reason is simple: because my house is here and Ganesh and Kumaresh are here.” The year was 2007 and Rahman was talking about his Mylapore neighbours and violinists Ganesh and Kumaresh. This was when the world was just about getting acquainted with the violin duo, who stormed the north Indian music scene (Kanpur and Delhi) as child prodigies, followed by their name being thrown around at the Delhi Marghazi Season. Years later, they are known to be two of the finest violinists in the country.
