Sheik Chinna Moulana

Post by SrinathK »

Although I have heard of him, and my grandfather has narrated some stories about his music, it turns out I haven't heard Sheik Chinna Moulana ever in my life, until today.

Sheik Chinna Moulana (12 May 1924, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh – 13 April 1999, Srirangam, Tamil Nadu), popularly known as Sheik, was a legendary nadhaswaram player in the Carnatic tradition. He was awarded the Madras Music Academy's Sangeetha Kalanidhi in 1998. He achieved high position through his outstanding control over the instrument, rendering the Krities in the Gayaki style and for his extraordinary style of Raga Alapana.

Here's an album featuring some melodious nadaswaram delight : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlYDDQo7Mbw
