Devotion in every religion is the same - and how we appeal, what we request, demand or ask of God and the endearment towards the Divine is the same whether you are a Jew or a Hindu. “If you listen to the lyrics, you will realise that the Divine could be Allah, Jesus or Krishna. Speaking on why he picked the song, Krishna says that it was the adaptability quotient.
unfortunate! Hope you are not singing jingle bells in Ananda Bhairavi. In the name of liberal values and taking Carnatic music everywhere, shit happens. While those who attended the event by TM Krishna and ghatam maestro Vikku Vinayakram at the packed church have been heaping praises on the event, some have taken to Twitter and raked up a storm, even telling Krishna not to resort to “singing Jingle Bells in Ananda Bhairavi” ragam. And unsurprisingly, this is exactly what has landed Krishna in yet another controversy. To add to this jugalbandi of different faiths, he performed a song popularised by Tamil sufi singer Nagoor Hanifa. In yet another effort to push these boundaries, he has now taken Carnatic music to the Anglican Church, built by the British to honour their slain soldiers in the Afghan War. For the past few years, he has been pushing for art and music to move into alternative spaces, and away from the traditional sabha culture. Over the years, TM Krishna has been a vocal opponent of the Brahmin-domination of Carnatic music and is known for speaking out against the exclusion of other castes in what is perceived as the "high" arts.
