Here we are, three generations, virtually, at the Lakshminarayana Global Music Festival. The friendship between our two families goes back two generations, when my father- composer, arranger, and musician RK Sekar and Prof Lakshminarayan, used to live in the...same street in Mylapore, Chennai.

In celebrating and honoring the violin virtuoso and Maestro Dr. L Subramaniam’s father, Prof Lakshminaraya, our families came together to perform a song I grew up with, ‘Don’t Leave Me’, composed by Dr. LS.
Joining Dr. Subramaniam and me, in performing my favorite track are my children Khatija Rahman, Raheema Rahman, AR Ameen, and L Subramaniam’s daughter Bindu Subramaniam and granddaughter Mahati Subramaniam along with my dear friend and percussionist, Sivamani.

Thank you to Harman and JBL for their support on this project.
Hope you enjoy this dedication!
