Illayaraja’s Tour of the US – Maestro 1000, kicked off in San Jose last weekend. The legend performed for his Tamil and Telugu fans in two separate events organized by Bay Area’s largest ethnic community associations – BATA and Kalalaya. The Isaignani and his team landed in San Francisco on Friday.
Bay Area Telugu Association kicked off the tour by organizing an Exclusive Telugu Concertwhich featured some of the best singers in the industry – Mano, Karthik, Chitra and others singing to the music, tunes & beats of Illayaraja’s soul-stirring orchestra!
This Live Concert featured more than 50 songs from Illayaraja’s biggest hits and the fans were ecstatic about the event. The highlight of the show was the host, Prakash Raj who clearly was very excited to be part of Illayaraja’s first ever Telugu concert.
