Anand Bhate will bring his Hindustani classical expertise to the event
Like most musical families, Srikrishna and Ramkumar Mohan started young under the tutelage of their father Trichur R Mohan, a veteran mridangam player. Like most Indian families, the brothers — now popular as the Trichur Brothers — had to crack a competitive exam nonetheless. The chartered accountants-cum-Carnatic vocalists will now tally their tunes with Hindustani vocalist Anand Bhate among other familiar names like Manganiyar vocalist Kachra Khan and santoor player Rahul Sharma this weekend.
We open our conversation by getting a pressing question out of the way — which one of the two professional pursuits could have possibly been tougher to crack? “Even though music ran in the family, it was never imposed on us. Chartered accountancy, on the other hand, was a purely materialistic goal that we had to get out of the way,” Srikrishna laughs. The vocalist remembers waking up to Carnatic tunes playing in the family home and joining the riyaz out of curiosity. “It was possibly this freedom that we were allowed in a structured practice such as Carnatic music, that made it the easier pursuit,” he admits.
