Dakshinayan - a treat of carnatic music
* S Shashank (Flute)
Shashank was born in October 1978 at Rudrapatna, a village on the bank of river Cauvery in Hassan District of Karnataka. Shashank's talents were discovered when he was barely nine months old. His father, Subramanyam, a biochemist and also an amateur flautist taught Shashank music as a language. Shashank's amazing memory for tunes and sense of rhythm put him years ahead of normal children. Six year old Shashank one day surprised his violin teacher by playing the kanada raga varnam on his father's flute and refused to learn violin any more. It was Shashank's good fortune to meet the flute wizard T.R.Mahalingam (Mali) in 1985 to seek his guidance. A surprised Mali blessed Shashank and advised to learn only vocal music from veterans and to let his own genius to play the flute. Accordingly he learnt only vocal music from celebrities R.K.Srikantan, K.V.Narayana Swamy and Sandhyavandanam Trichur Narendran, an able mridangam artiste developed his performing skills.
