I believe ramaNa was referring to the Sataavadhaanam last year in
NY/NJ. At the New York TANA Conference, I do not think that there was any
ashTaavadhaanam. There was 'bhuvana vijayamu' headed by prasaadaraaya
kulapati which was well received when scheduled in a daytime slot.
The crowd at the Sataavadhaanam in all likelihood is made up of
people interested in that particular art form whereas the TANA crowd is
not so homogeneous.
