This is a cover of a delightful composition by my (Vikaasa Ramdas) guru (Padmashri Mandolin U. Shrinivas) called "Dances in Breezes", from the album "Samjanitha", in the raga Kathanakuthuhalam.

A joyful and uplifting raga, my Guruji enjoyed composing and playing in this raga. Every time I listen to him playing this song, I feel both happy and melancholic because I miss him so much. It gives us great joy to pay tribute to U. Shrinivas ji by playing this song, and hope that we will get better at playing it with every performance (with lots of practice)!

This concert took place on the eve of Guru Purnima 2022, on the banks of the Seekonk River at the Blackstone Park Conservation District, Rhode Island.
