Takes me to another time -- sittin' in a juke joint, sippin' on something with a little bit of a warm bite, foot tappin', energized after a long, hard week. 

Son House always speaks thie Blues

Kids’ Duet - Maadu meikkum kanne - Sridevi Nrithyalaya - Bharathanatyam ...

 

8 year old Arshita Murugadoss and 6 year old Maya Swaminathan enacts Yashoda & Krishna in the popular song "Maadu Meikkum Kanne..."

https://youtu.be/fl-J4qyQfC0

This song is an engaging dialogue between child Krishna and Yashoda.

As Krishna excitedly asks his mother if he could go and tend to the cattle, Yashoda denies him permission. She offers him butter, milk and sugar coated sweets and asks him not to go out in the scorching heat.

However, Krishna rejects all her offers and instead tells her that he will happily tend to the cows and come back home in a jiffy.

Then, mother Yashoda tries to convince him saying that there are wild animals in the mountains which might scare him when he goes there with his cows. Krishna smartly replies that the animals will approach him fondly and assures his mother that he will hunt them down if they come in large numbers to attack him.

As Yashoda gives him more and more reasons to not go out, Krishna cooks up intelligent replies to all that. Finally, child Krishna manages to convince his mother that he will safely go with his herd of cows and come back home quickly.

Maadu Meikkum Kanne... beautifully sung by Sri Srikanth Gopalakrishnan & Choreographed by Dr. Sheela Unnikrishnan.
