SEMMANGUDI

It was with great sadness that I read about the Death of Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer , the Doyen of Carnatic music. One of the outstanding vocalists of the 20th Century he was like a pitmaah to most of the upcoming carnatic music artistes . His rendition of Karaharapriya & subhapantuvarali ragas still remain etched in my memory . May his soul rest in peace.
