Then Purno Das Baul and Dibyendu Das presented Folk from Bengal, and then Rajasthani folk song by Nek Mohammad Langa and Sikander Langa. The musical evening continued with Dr. N.

Title: Chinnan chiru kiliye
Description: version:veena Dr Chitti babu
Chitti Babu will be remembered for his stylised veena playing and his very contemporary theme compositions, the best of which feature in this tape.
A disciple of Emani Shankar Shastri's, he was not afraid to blend the traditional sounds of the veena with unconventional gamakas, harmonies, and tunes not strictly raga based. Purists may have frowned upon his explorations, but no one can deny that he was a thinking mind, trying to show that the veena is "old as the hills and new as today".
Chitti Babu was not a vaggeyakara, that is, he wasn't one who could compose and sing his own traditional compositions. Rather, he was the sort who could have been a very good composer in films and theatre, somewhat like Zakir Hussain or L Subramaniam. His music is, in that sense, very visual.
Only perhaps there were no such opportunities for him. Other vainikas still play his pieces towards the end of concerts. The radio plays his pieces as fillers. But all this is not a fitting tribute to a genius who could compose for the veena brilliant, evocative pieces.
