forgotten by present day performers barring a few down South.

There are mainly 4 most famous Tamil musicians who have a great hand in establishing and bringing

up the Tamil Music. If you see the videos of famous Tamil Musicians on Tamil Cinema Trending

which consists of pallavi (refrain), anupallavi and charanam. He is also known as the Tamil

Trinity of Carnatic Music. He hailed from a family of hereditary musicians called Isai Vellalar

(music cultivators) who were generally assigned as temple musicians. The ecstatic

compositions that poured forth in his devotional fervour turned out to be kritis of

excellence.
