Delhi: TM Krishna sings for harmony with bhajans, songs on Allah and Jesus

| Sunday | 18th November, 2018

Krishna said he was worried by the anger in the country, which seemed to be bubbling up into violence easily. Krishna has been known to speak out against hate politics, communalism and caste.“At this concert, the energy and dynamics are completely changed. "It's good to hear artists speak up for what they believe in," said Meenu, who works in the non-profit sector. Krishna's show had been postponed by AAI, following an alleged backlash from rightwing trolls.

Significance of today's performance is, ppl came together to say it's a country of voices where ppl who disagree ar… https://t.co/VxGZ7hF1q6 — ANI (@ANI) 1542481936000 Before his concert, the usually outspoken Carnatic musician T M Krishna said he was in Delhi “to sing, that’s it, nothing else”. But there was no escaping the fact that the postponement of the event he was scheduled to perform at, the quick organising of one by the Delhi government, and the controversy online and off had changed the spirit of the performance.Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia accompanied Krishna to the stage on Saturday evening, along with a large posse of policemen.On stage, the acclaimed Carnatic singer and Magsaysay award winner let his choice of songs make the statement.The lineup included a song on Jesus in Malayalam, a Tamil song on Allah, bhajans by Gandhi and Tukaram, verses from Kannada philosopher Basava , and a verse by author Perumal Murugan to send out a message about freedom of expression. Besides the connoisseurs who turned up to listen to the acclaimed Carnatic singer and Magsaysay award winner, the audience at the Garden of Five Senses at the Awam ki Awaz concert included curious students, solidarity-showing liberals and AAP members, and a large media contingent.Conversations in the audience before the concert started were all about the politics that had preceded the concert. Krishna's show had been postponed by AAI, following an alleged backlash from rightwing trolls. "It's good to hear artists speak up for what they believe in," said Meenu, who works in the non-profit sector. Krishna has been known to speak out against hate politics, communalism and caste.“At this concert, the energy and dynamics are completely changed. I’m looking forward to being with people who believe in the democratic spirit of this country,” he told TOI before the performance.“To allow all points of view to be in a state of flux is what democracy allows and this is a day to celebrate that,” he said. Krishna said he was worried by the anger in the country, which seemed to be bubbling up into violence easily.
