“Shri Kiran Kamath, the well-known musician-singer from Mumbai, was recently in Margao, Goa, on a personal visit.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the GSB Seva Samiti, Margao, organized a special Bhajan Sandhya program for our Samaj Bandhava(s) on Thursday the 15th May 2008 evening at 7.00 p.m. at Shri Maruti Mandir, Davorlim, Margao, featuring Sri Kiran Kamath.
The GSB Bandhava(s) of Margao, Goa meet every Thursday at 7.15 pm at Sri Maruti Mandir, Davorlim, to sing Bhajans. This is followed by Aarati and prasad which is sponsored by each family in turns. However, this Thursday was reserved exclusively for the Bhajan Sandhya Program of Sri Kiran Kamath who enthralled a crowded audience with his soulful singing, which was a revelation for those who heard him for the first time.
Eleven-year old schoolboy, Master Vighnesh Prabhu who accompanied him on the Tabla, gave a highly competent performance belying his age. Smt Kirti Kiran Kamath was on the Tanpura. Sri U. V. Kini and Sri Vinayak Prabhu kept the beat on the ‘taal’. Sri Nagesh Pai felicitated Shri Kiran Kamath and Master Vighnesh Shenoy on behalf of the GSB Seva Samiti, Margao.”

Baajere’ Muraliyaa Baaje’:
A gifted artiste, I had listened to his concert in our GSB Samaj in New Delhi in 1997 or 98 if I remember correctly. I was amazed by his mellifluous voice and I was also astounded to see him playing the harmonium which was flawless. What a talent! I wish him best of luck in all his endeavours to become a world class singer. I will not be surprised if he is bestowed with Bharat Ratna one day for his talent which is matchless for his age.
