Dakshinayan - a treat of Carnatic Music

- Sangeet Samrat N Ravikiran (Chitravina)



Chitravina N. Ravikiran (born February 12, 1967 in Mysore, Karnataka, India) is a composer of Indian Carnatic music. He has been called the "Indian Mozart". He is probably most famous for his concept of "melharmony", which is harmony which stays within the melodic rules of an Indian raga (musical mode). Considered a virtuoso chitravina player, he has been described as "probably the greatest slide instrumentalist in the world today" by Radio Australia. Ravikiran has also played the slide Hawaiian guitar, and is an accomplished vocalist. He invented a variant of the chitravina called the navachitravina, which is smaller and has a clearer tone in the higher frequencies. Ravi Shankar, the famous sitar player, is most impressed with his talents, and is noted as saying: "If you don’t believe in God, just look at Ravikiran."

- Padmabhushan T. V. Sankaranarayanan (Vocal)



T. V. Sankaranarayanan (Tiruvalangadu Vembu Iyer Sankaranarayanan, born March 7, 1945) is an eminent and popular Carnatic vocalist (South Indian classical singer), known for his vibrant music that essentially stems from the style of his late uncle-guru, Madurai Mani Iyer. Padma Bhushan Sankaranarayanan, a winner of the prestigious Sangeetha Kalanidhi award instituted by the Madras Music Academy, is particularly noted for the easy reach of his voice to the upper notes and colourful dilineation of the solphas (swaraprastaram).
