MUSIC OF KERALA

The music of kerala has a long and rich history. Kerala has a rich tradition in Carnatic music. Songs formed a major part of early Malayalam literature, which traces its origin to the 9th century CE. The most basic branches are classical music which is primarily Carnatic music oriented , and popular music which includes film songs and album songs .

 Classical Music

Kerala is musically known for Sopana Sangeetham. Sopana Sangeetham is a form of classical music that originated in the temples of kerala . Sopanam is religious in nature and developed through singing invocatory songs at the kalam of kali , and later inside temples .
            Kerala is also home of Carnatic music . Legends like Swati Tirunal , Irayimman Thampi, K.J.Yesudas , Shadkala Govinda Marar etc.. are renowed musical exponents from kerala . Among the younger generation , child prodigy violin wizard L. Athira Krishna and Carnatic vocalist  P.Unnikrishnan have made their musical impact in the international arena , thus keeping the regal tradition of Carnatic music alive.

  1. Music is an invisible ambience but the words make it visible and gives an amiable presence of the theme. From your view, I think Mollywood movies accomplished it.I have heard only one Malayalam song sung by Shreya ghoshal in the movie 'ANWAR'. I will try to hear from now onwards. SUPER!!!!!!!!!!
