Yes Bala and Brinda/Mukta were cousins. Wheras the Bala was the daughter of Jayammal, Brinda and Muktha were the daughters of Kamakshi.
The link below to the Veena Dhanammal family tree is extremely insighful

http://www.balasaraswati.com/family.htm

Some of the dates though have typos. Like for example Rajalakshmi was born in 1885 whereas the chart shows 1985.
T Ranganathan 's year of birth is 1925 , but wrongly shown as 1825.

Abhiramasundari , sister of Brinda and Muktha died in 1974 (i think) but the date is erroneously shown as 1924.

If we should start getting picky, I guess the correct heading would be 'Family members who are/were both performing artists..'. Couples would only mean the married kind! :P

Rajumds, you are correct about Sri Venkatarama Sastri and Sri RKS. Anyway, Sri R. Venkatarama Sastri and Sri R. K. Sriramkumar make another pair that are related....

The title better be, those who are NOT related in the CM world--looking at the length of the thread and complexities of relationships we have been dealing with!
And, repetitions and omissions too...:)

in addition to spouse (anuradha) sriram parsuram also has 2 musical brothers.
mother and daughters - hemlatha mani (chittibabu student, veena) charulatha mani (vocal) and madhumita mani (playback)
malladi brothers + father suri babu

no doubt genes are significant in music. it runs and even gallops in some families, but judging from some peoples performances it some times skips a generation :D

We still have not identified the 'elusive' Music gene. Again there is the issue of "Nature or Nurture' among immediate family. But there are manifestations with distant ancestors. Pl cite them if you know of any. One that we know of is:

HH Svaathi ThiruNAL ....... (Our) Prince Rama Varma.

While a bit of music here and there in the family helps, it is more the nurturing of it that counts, I think. You may hear a child sing beautifully and you ask the mother, 'so, you come from a musical family?'--the answer is, 'not to my knowledge, no music in my husband's family either'. Both parents being rasikAs and their listening to music at home is a big influence on the child. It also explains that 'elusive ' music gene the psychologist mentions above--that which the child derived from
an unknown ancestor of yore.
While the professionals do research for years, it is easy for lay persons to come to conclusions in a flash! Pardonnez moi, CML...

AFAIK, Pallavi Gopala Iyer was a pre-trinity composer and the father of Lalgudi siblings, Lalgudi Gopala Iyer, was a composer cum musician.
