T M Krishna in Concert

Thodur Madabusi Krishna’s three-initialled renown as ‘TMK’ comes from his widely acknowledged stature as a vocalist in the Carnatic tradition. His musicality eludes standard analyses. Uncommon in his rendition of music and original in his interpretation of it, Krishna is at once strong and subtle, manifestly traditional and stunningly innovative.

T M Krishna regaled the audience at the Biennale Pavilion with his evocative rendition of the ragas and his own genre-defying, multi-dimensional compositions such as the Poramboke Padal supported by Vittal Ramamoorthy on Violin, N Guruprasad on Ghatam and B S Purushotham on Kanjira
