Dear MNFK patrons, families and friends
We know that you have all been waiting with excitement to listen to the voices of Chinna Kuyil Chitra and Satyaprakash and bask in the happiness of evening with soulful music to your ears and hearts.
However it is rather unfortunate and we regret to announce that this event has now been canceled / called off. Late afternoon on Friday while we were waiting to proceed to the airport to receive the legendary singer & Satya - we were made aware that several members on the orchestra band have tested POSITIVE for COVID. Unfortunately, this is a situation where there is no way to proceed with the event as planned considering the possibility of infection and overall health of the community.
With overwhelming sense of gratitude we thank each one of you for the patience that you have shown in us in the wait to grace the occasion.
We humbly request you all to continue to express the same loyalty and extended patience as we keep working on the event cancellation logistics and the process in returning the money incurred by each one of you for the event tickets / private dinner meet-and-greet / sponsorships - as applicable.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ONE AND ALL🙏🙏

Jayaraman Balasubramanian - a software engineer by profession, who also is a highly skilled flutist. Keeping his passion going .. joined us for MNFK program and enthralled us with his beautiful voice and flute... SHANKTHI BAND ‘s Kamalesh, Vijay K.Ramasamy on keyboard, THAYa on drums and the guitarists just blew us with their beautiful music... a clip..
Due to the length of this video, posting in 2 clips... when Shakti band got a quick clip of the Mridangam play by our very own dear PRASEED BALAJI , the Shakthi band lead Mr.THAYA said, they have to make it with live orchestra. So the rehearsals were done separately on this one of the most tough songs by Samyu and Praseed separately in Mn. Vijay Krishnan and Shakthi band practiced individually in NJ. Without any rehearsal together, this song just went live directly on stage. One among our most talented MN kids with Vijay and Shakthi Band...Part 1 here
Coming up next, our MNFK singer Purushothaman singing Kannana Kanne, from movie Viswasam , originally sung by Sid Sriram.. a clip
We had a wonderful show on May 27th with the Makkal Isai artists Senthil and Rajalakshmi. Most of the Minnesota Tamils have missed due to long weekend plans, still we had a wonderful support from others. Many postponed their plans to be there with us supporting and participating. Starting here, are a few clips from the program to all those who have missed the event. . The videos are posted in no particular order..
