Candid- with Singer Srinivas .

February 17 sung it . It about saluting the spirit of Tamil . Especially when we go abroad , Sri Lankan Tamils give us so much love and respect . I wanted to do this song like a thanksgiving . I am shooting a video now and it ’ s going to get released in Toronto and online in Youtube and on every platform .
Selvakumar - Which are your fond memories of performing live in concerts ?
Srinivas - The concerts with Rahman in Dubai , US and Toronto in 1998 , which I would never forget . Now , he calls me once in a while for some shows . Rahman ’ s concerts are always special . But , I also stared preforming and touring on my own , when my songs were becoming hit . More than memorable performances , there were memorable audiences , especially the Sri Lankan audiences anywhere in the world . I did a show in Jaffna recently , it was extraordinary . I did in Singapore , Kuala Lumpur , Colombo . I did my hindi shows as well , as I am a huge fan of Kishor Kumar and RD Burman . I did these in Chennai , Hyderabad , Bangalore , Kochi and Coimbatore . So , these shows are so memorable and I never felt so great in my life watching the audiences smile after a 3 hour show . I also did some Ghazals mostly in Kerala . Again , doing ghazals gives you self satisfaction . Live shows always gives me a sense of liberation and joy . I enjoy being part of reality shows also . Life goes on and I will always be looking forward to do something in music .
