BAY AREA, CALIFORNIA: It was a truly spectacular sight at the Santa Clara Convension Center on the evening of 9th Oct. The occasion was the live performance by Nandi Award Winning Singer Sunitha along with Sri Krishna. The show was organized by Bay Area Telugu Association & VisionSoft Solutions. It was a resounding success as the hall was packed with a tremendously charged crowd of over 1200 people.
Sunitha with Srikrishna and orchestra created magic on the audience with old and new songs. The show started with a melodious performance of “Punyabhoomi naa desam song. It just set the mood for a music filled evening. But as they started picking the fast paced numbers from their repertoire, the excitement of the crowds knew no bounds.
