A new music cassette by Sandhya Ravindranath and Ravi Ravindranath, California.

A new cassette of Kannada songs was released recently in Bangalore at a
very well organized function at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. The songs are
composed by Sandhya and set to music by Ravi, a husband and wife team
living in California for more than 20 years. Their love for the language,
literature and music have bloomed in the form of this cassette which
comprises of a bunch of lovely songs.

Renderings by well known artistes, Narasimha Naik (Chinnada Naade) and
Ratnamala Prakash (Begakaretha) blend well with those by fresh talents Suma
Shastri and Pallavi. There are two songs by Rajesh Ananthaswamy and Anita
Ananthaswamy, the worthy children of the late Mr. Mysore Ananthaswamy. That
makes the cassette a bouquet of balanced melodies.

Nillu Nillu Rama is perhaps the most touching piece and deserves special
mention. Ravi and Sandhya have every reason to feel proud of their maiden
venture and listeners would certainly welcome more such cassettes from this
talented couple.
