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.

That Chembai/SSI picture must be of the 30's. Can we have the list of persons pictured...

For this photo, Veena S.Balachander writes his caption:
"Old King Cole,
was a merry old soul!
He called for his fiddlers three...
And told them to take a day free!!!"

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 :
[email protected] through yousendit.com.

I heard from "chembai" in the sangeetham forums that CVB was an expert in Kathri swarams.
Can someone post more rederings by CVB with kathri swarams? I'm fascinated by them...
Is there any math behind kathri swarams? I assume they are also a type of kanakku swaram...
Cheers

This is a Thani avarthanam by PMI preceeded by swaraprastara by Chembai and TNK in Thodi (contains kathriswaras also). I'm also posting this link in the thani avarthanams thread.

Dear Ramki
Grateful if you would kindly upload the relevant concert of Chembai in full. I am looking out for concerts of Chembai other than the pre-recs released by different companies.
Regards
Kaumaaram

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
[email protected]
