 Born in 1969 at Palakol in Andhra Pradesh,
Srinivas was a child prodigy. He received his
initiation into music from his father. He had the
privilege of advanced training in Carnatic music
from Rudraraju Subbaraju. Srinivas started playing
mandolin at the age of six. He is the first
exponent to this little instrument. A power house of talent has descended on the
orchard of Carnatic Music to make it resplendent in
all its varied hues and nuances, weaving around it a
magnetic field that not only sustains the audience
interest but makes them crave for a little more of
it. This sudden and brilliant outburst of musical
wizardry is from the tender hands of Master
Shrinivas who with a caress of the strings of the
tiny instrument Mandolin sets the pace for a
thoroughly enjoyable fare of Carnatic music that
normally has come to be regarded as the preserve of
a few savant grade senior musicians.
Shrinivas
was born in Palakol in West Godavari district in
Andhra Pradesh on February 28, 1969. As a very young
boy Shrinivas was a normal child in school except
that he seemed to have an ear for music. Then one
day, when he was only six years old, his parents
came home to find him playing on his father's
mandolin. Inspired by the boy's interest in music,
Satyanarayana taught his son what little music he
knew, and Shrinivas began playing Carnatic music on
the mandolin. |
