 Padmabhushan Sangeetha Kalanidhi Dr. M.
Balamuralikrishna is a trailblazer and a colossal
vocalist and also a very important vaggeyakara of
the 20th Century.
Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna was born on July
6, 1930 at Sankaraguptam (a small hamlet in Rajolu
Taluk, East Godavari District in Andhra Pradesh)
to Mangalampalli Pattabhiramayya and
Suryakanthamma.
He inherited the musical traits of his parents.
His father, Pattabhiramayya was a famous flutist
and a music teacher and Suryakanthama was a
notable veena artiste. His father entrusted
Balamurali to 'Gayaka Sarvabhauma' Parupalli
Ramakrishnayya Pantulu under whose competent
tutelage young Balamurali reached the pinnacle of
fame in the field of music.
In 1938, at the age of
eight, during the Sadguru Arandhana Utsava, held
at Vijayawada, Balamuralikrishna gave his first
full- fledged performance. His greatest asset is his
wonderfully vibrant, widely ranging, magnetic
voice over which he has perfect control in all
three octaves.
He is very versatile and
apart from being a vocalist, he plays the kanjira,
mrdangam, viola and violin. Balamuralikrishna has
enriched Carnatic music with his compositions
(over 400) and also through the creation of
several new musical scales. He has created new
ragas like mahati, sumukham, trisakthi, sarvashri,
omkari, janasamodini, manorama, rohini, vallabhi,
lavangi, pratimadhyamavathi, sushama, etc.
Balamurali Krishna has
also proved his talent as a playback singer, music
director and actor in several languages.
