Raju Gaanothsava – 17ᵗʰ Edition | Curated by Madhu Manoharan
Raju Gaanothsava returns with its 17ᵗʰ edition, thoughtfully curated by Raju`s ardent disciple, singer Madhu Manoharan, to honour and relive the timeless legacy of Raju Ananthaswamy. This year’s celebration brings together an evocative blend of his most cherished melodies, rare compositions, and the poetic depth that shaped the soul of Kannada Sugama Sangeetha.
Guided by the curator’s vision, the evening features handpicked artistes (Sujay Shastry, Praveen B V, Pradeep B V, Ramya Vasishta along with Madhu Manoharan, the curator herself) and musicians who have been closely connected to Raju’s musical journey—ensuring authenticity, emotion, and a heartfelt tribute on stage.
The concert also marks a historic moment with the exclusive premiere of a brand-new unreleased song composed by the legend (sung by Madhu Manoharan, also featuring Venkatesh D C of Kantara fame), offering fans a precious glimpse into Raju’s musical world once again.
Join us for an immersive night of nostalgia, artistry, and cultural celebration—an experience crafted for admirers of Raju Ananthaswamy and for anyone who cherishes meaningful music.
