Sangamam Festival:


The curtain will go up on the fourth edition of what is being presented as the ‘biggest Open Festival of India’ – Chennai Sangamam 2010 here on January 16.Announcing this at a press conference here Rajya Sabha MP and daughter of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi Karimozhi, who is the Co-ordinator of the increasingly popular event, said the festival this year would have three new facets. One, would be a ”colourful” Folk Dances competition between Chennai City Corporates and the Colleges. More than 30 colleges and corporates had enrolled for this event. The finalists would be awarded dring the ‘Grand Finale’ on January 16, she said.

More than 20 Wetern Music bands in the city would also be performing in this inclusive event, she said, adding the bands would be performing Tamil Rock and Folk. The bands would also have a competition among themselves on the theme of ‘World Peace”.
The third new major addition this year would be the integration of the performing teams from some of the city colleges in the festival.They would perform to folk themes and rhythms, she said. Poetry and literary sessions, Tamil documentary festival, folk programmes and food festivals with a new element of oriental cuisine would be the other ‘ingredients’ of the festival this year, ‘Tamil Mayam’ convenor Jagat Gasparaj said.
Answering questions Kanimozhi pointed out that ‘Tamil Mayam’ which has introduced this event was hoping that it would become part of Tamil Nadu government’s schemes to protect our ancient and traditional culture and art forms.”We cannot set up a corpus fund.
The idea was to help the artists and the art forms, which had been hitherto languishing, to preserve and earn a livelihood.Referring to the fulfilment of this objective, she said already Thanjavur university had set up a seperate faculty for study of folk arts.
