Ganapati Bappa Moraya by Padmashri Awardee Sangita Kalanidhi Smt. Aruna Sairam

I’m thrilled to share this very special rendition of an Abhang that has been close to my heart for years. "Ganapati Bappa Moraya" has been a cherished composition of my concert repertoire for years now, and for Ganesh Chaturthi 2024, I bring it to you in a brand-new form. This version features the music of some very talented artists, who have added their unique touch to create a fresh and vibrant feel for this beautiful bhakti song. I hope this devotional piece resonates with you and enhances your Vinayaka Chaturthi celebrations and festivities. Ganapati Bappa Moraya!

*About Aruna Sairam*
Aruna Sairam (Padma Shri) is a Carnatic vocalist, composer, collaborator, humanitarian, and speaker. In addition to her performances in India, Aruna has taken Carnatic music to the global arena, at prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall. Currently Vice Chairperson of the Sangeet Natak Akademi, Delhi, she was appointed in 2008 by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu as Advisor to the Department of Culture. Aruna works towards the musical education of underprivileged students, through the Nadayogam Trust, which she founded in 2011. Aruna is grateful for the training she received under her mother Rajalakshmi Sethuraman and the legendary T. Brinda, and the mentorship from several masters throughout her musical journey. Her music erased geographic borders when she was the first to incorporate Abhang, a Western Indian musical form, into a traditional, South Indian concert.
