 Popularly
known as Saxophone Chakravathy, Kadri Gopalnath
plays Carnatic music on sexophone. Kadri
Gopalnath was born in Panemangalore, in Dakshina
Kannada district (Karnataka, South India) in 1950.
He acquired a taste for music from his father,
Thaniappa who was a nagaswaram vidwan. Young
Gopalnath once saw the saxophone being played in the
Mysore palace band set. Ofcourse, the band set was
playing a western tune. Thrilled on hearing the
vibrant tone of the saxophone, Gopalnath decided to
master it. It took him nearly 20 years for him to
conquer the complex western wind instrument.
His
achievement is especially laudatory, as Gopalnath
had to make certain improvisations to the
conventional Saxophone instrument in order to play
Carnatic music. So perfect has this adaptation been
that no less a musician than Shemmangudi Srinivasa
Iyer, the doyen of Indian Music, has acknowledged
Kadri Gopalnath has a true Carnatic music genius.
