Sivamani holds New York captive!

Acclaimed percussionist Anandan Sivamani, popularly known as Sivamani, enthralled music lovers in New York on Tuesday.

The man who plays many instruments including drums, Octoban, Darbuka, Udukai, and Kanjira, couldn't resist trying his technique on this suitcase!

The extremely talented percussionist, who performed during the IPL Championships last year, has a huge fan following in India. Even kids, like this young lad in blue, like his music.

Former Indian Consulate general of New York Shashi Tripathi and Consulate General Prabhu Dayal were among the distinguished guests at the concert which was held at the Consulate's Ballroom.
