It was like a dream come true for the Telugu music lovers of Minnesota; when the Jeffereson Highschool auditorium resonated with a sensational presentation of Manisharmaâs music. His 16 member team with singers and orchestra rocked the stadium and the 500 people in it was an amazing feast for the ears !

It started with a big blast as 4 singers – Vijayalakshmi, Malavika ,Murali and Mallikarjun presented their foot tapping songs; continuing the evening music journey with popular songs of the sensational hit movies like Kantri, Chirutha etc. The exuberance of the audience mounted with each number.
Reverse gear guru swamy performed some popular songs in reverse order and amazed one and all with his parody and bone tickling jokes to the amusement of the huge audience. His Narayana Murthy style of singing Chiranjeeviâs popular song âAbbani Tiyyani Debba…â is note worthy.
