Chembai blessing Yesudas at Shanmukhananda Hall, Bombay, 1968. Chembai also honoured him with a congratulatory shawl, which was presented by the Kanchi Paramacharya to Chembai sometime earlier. This was the concert at the end of which Yesudas expressed his desire to become Chembai's disciple, and Chembai accepted.

The above words are from S.Balachander himself. Later when he got the Central Sangeet Natak Academy award, he was to write, refusing the award "This is a late award for Balachander, instead of an award for Late Balachander. There is a mahanubhava called Chembai who already has honoured me with the supreme title 'Nada Brahmam', and I cannot aspire to get a title any higher than that."

Srikris,
Thanks. But I cannot save it in my hard disk. The moment I click the track(s), it gets copied into temporary folder and real player gets activated.
If possible, kindly send it to me : kaumaaram@yahoo.com through yousendit.com.

Kaumaaram,
I have limits on my internet bandwidth which unfortunately forbids me from uploading or downloading anything substantial... and for this reason, I will not be able to upload whole concerts even though I have a good number of them... you are however welcome to take a copy of them offline on CDs from me if you stay in Chennai... my email is srkris@gmail.com

We might have heard the expansive Swarajati of Shyama Sastri in Bhairavi as sung by the Pitamaha, Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, who more or less patented the same.
So it was a bit surprising when I heard the same piece sung by Chembai, because Chembai was not known to have rendered this often. It was a different experience altogether... it seemed to me to be a mix of Semmangudi and MDR's styles.
Hear it yourself at http://rapidshare.de/files/10635486/CVB ... rajati.mp3
Alternatively, it can be accessed by clicking the "Audio Folder" link at the top-left of this page, and entering the password "carnatic" when required.

Dear Friends,
I will be in Chennai for a day and a half (before I proceed on a detailed and long trip down south) on 10th and 11th of this month. Will it be possible to share a glass of beer or two with all those of you who are in Chennai - and ofcourse get to know you better. In case most of you might come out with a response that "I do not drink" - no problems at all - u can definitely clink my glass with yours (filled with coke or orange or lemon.......).
I would defnitely like to meet as many people as possible. Please suggest a suitable venue and time.
Thanks,
Param

Mahesh,
I have uploaded track-wise because rapid-share hangs up when I load a big file. Despite the drawback of a wait time, I believe that you would be able to complete the exercise within a day or two.

Welcome! If you visit sangeethapriya.org, you will find a dedicated page for Chembai. The Administrator of this forum, Mr S Ramakrishnan has uploaded a concert and some other pieces. Please download them by right clicking. Second, this forum contains an audio folder, password for which is carnatic. You may get one more chance then to download the songs that have been discussed in detail by the forum members.

This is a 11.9.66 concert of Chembai at Mumbai. The person delivering the opening speech that runs for about 20 minutes, speaks of the greatness of Chembai.
