Popular playback singer L.R. Eswari, known for her majestic base-voice, was recently felicitated in Chennai for having completed more than 50 years in the world of Tamil films as a playback singer. In her heydays, Eswari withstood the presence of 'superstars of singing' in the form of legendary P. Susheela, Jikky and S. Janaki and held her own besides winning the hearts of movie-goers and music lovers all over the world.
Eswari is also known for the many devotional sings she has rendered in praise of Goddess Amman. There isn't a single village or a township in the State where Eswari's Amman songs are not played during the festive season. The singer is now being felicitated in countries spread across the European continent which have a decent number of Tamil population.
The first of the series functions would be held on 14th October at Germany and would be followed by another function at the very next day i.e. on the 15th October at the French capital city of Paris. 16th October would witness the hosting of the function at Switzerland and would be followed by another event slated to be held on 21st October at Denmark.
The series of functions, named as Vanakkam Europe, concludes with a mega-event to be held in Norway on 22-23 October. The event is being organized by the popular orchestra Saadhaga Paravaigal.
Eswari would be singing many of her popular filmy and non-filmy numbers at all these events. Singers Naveen, Renaina, Bharani, Kavitha and Yaazhini would also be singing along side the legendary singer on stage during these events. As a precursor to this event, Sadhaga Paravaigal held a mega music concert in London over the last weekend for two days on 7-8 October. A lavish set costing Rs.3 crores was erected for the two-day event, held at the NI Arena auditorium in Birmingham.
