On the home page of the Fest web site, right top corner.
Play it. Listen to it.
Share it with everyone around the world.
Not just Mylaporeans.
And tell us what you feel about it.
It is an effort of about 15 people.
And this is the story behind it.
The anthem, if one may call it, is not a stand-alone.
It is part of the 40min Mylapore Sound and Light show that will be presented at the Sundaram Finance MYLAPORE FESTIVAL 2009 event. Every evening.
We wanted the show to open and close with a rousing song and dance piece.
So K S R Anirudha began to play with words and lines.
He bounced them on his dance and music colleagues.
They had a lot to add to it.
That done, Ani began to put down the music and had a scratch track prepared.
We then went into Baba Prasad's studios in Adyar. . .
We had with us many Mylaporeans, all young, brimming and creative musicians and singers who had volunteered to be part of the Sound and Light show.
They recorded at Baba's warm place.
Late last Saturday, the anthem was born!
On Pongal morning, Revathi posted it on the Fest web site so the world could listen to it.
By the weekend, we should have a video of it! On YouTube.
Another talented Mylaporean is working on it. . .

I love it! It is great - the words, the music and the presentation.
"Mylapore Anthem is Live"
MAKE IT A LIVE SHOW as suggested by one of the rasikas.
It will be Great to bring the team in one platform to perform.
