Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 11 (IANS): The recent press release and Facebook post of the former state Congress chief, V.M. Sudheeran singing praises to Kerala state Health Minister K.K. Shailaja has drawn flak from his party men.
Sudheeran had stated that while he and his wife were undergoing treatment at Thiruvananthapuram Medical college, he got excellent VIP treatment at the government Medical College.
While thanking the medical professionals, including doctors, nurses and paramedical staff, Sudheeran, who was also a former state health minister and Speaker of the state Assembly, said, All this was done only owing to the excellent leadership trait shown by the state health minister K.K. Shailaja.
Although rooted in Carnatic traditions, Jayanth has a unique sound that often traverses generic barriers, thanks to his early exposure to Hindustani and other forms of music and cross-cultural collaborations. Even when he is playing the most Carnatic-sounding ragas such as Bhairavi and Kamboji, the sound of his flute appears universal and cosmopolitan. It’s both pastoral and urban; and is peaceful, meditative and nuanced.
Among the younger generation, he is probably one of the most well-spoken and cosmopolitan artistes. His music has cross-generic influences, he performs across the world, does collaborative work and even have an un-Carnatic sartorial style.
