S BALACHANDER |
|
Balachander was one of the most original musicians of his life-time. Adept at playing several instruments like the Khanjira etc, he was mostly self-taught although he came from a family steeped in music. His Vina playing was unique - he evolved his own fingering technique which gave his style the maximum possible continuity and gamaka-laden approach. An interesting personality who never hesitated to fight for the causes he believed in, he also did a successful stint as a film director and actor. |
