Happy birthday to the Legendary GNB. (111th birth anniversary )
Ever since my childhood when I started listening to this lightning music, I have been an admirer of his virtuosity and brilliance and that magical voice justifies anything that is sung, keeping the timeless audience spellbound on their toes, his charismatic personality is obvious in his music.
Energy bank, control and the weight in the voice, deep musical knowledge in both Lakshya and Lakshana, precision in brikas, traditional yet unconventional, presence of mind, sense of humour, compassion, love, valour, bhakti, and ever exploring.
All the above qualities in one person? is he really a person then? being a Devi upasaka he had musically assumed the form of Shakthi within him to spread carnatak music.
And that is none other than one and only GNB.
G N Balasubrahmaniam, as a musician, as a Guru, as a Composer shined like thousand suns in carnatic scenario.
Being one of those thousands of musicians who come under the lineage of legendary GNB I wish a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GANDHARVA Of carnatic music.
The amount of inspiration and motivation that I have gathered from his music is not something that I can put it in words.
Saashtanga namaskaras to the handsome hero. 🙏🙏🙏
