thank you. i can imagine it being a mammoth task in the end - a veritable multi-dimensional web of musicians with arrows pointing here and there and everywhere.

i know this thread is about performing artists, but i feel compelled to mention that Bombay Sisters have an elder sister - Sethu Mahadevan - who has been teaching music for decades. Her repertoire is expansive and she has set to tune many of the songs that her sisters perform.

Pantula Rama and MSN Murthy (Wife and Husband)

An interesting thing here is the versatility and switching of roles - vocal<-->Volin or violin duo etc.
As many of us know, both Rama and Murthy are graded "Top Rank" by AIR for their Vocal and Violin respectively apart from being A grade in other areas like Violin/Viola.

Here is an interesting article in the hindu:

It has been a while since I visited/posted here...pls excuse if there are any unintended mistakes.

This list is getting way too long.

An apt conclusion would be that for every female artist, her husband plays the "jaalra"!
