Carnatic Music Legend Balamuralikrishna dies at 86; S-VYASA Yoga University offer condolences In what can only be described as a huge loss to the world of Carnatic music, legendary singer Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna passed away on 23 Nov. 2016, Tuesday, at the age of 86 after a prolonged illness in Chennai. He is survived by his wife, three daughters and three sons. Recipient of the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian honour in 1991, Balamuralikrishna is known for his immeasurable contribution to Indian music, especially globally. A child prodigy from Andhra Pradesh’s Sankaraguptam, Balamuralikrishna is said to be the fifth- generation descendant of saint-composer Thyagaraja in the guru-shishya parampara. In a musical career that spans his entire lifetime, Balamuralikrishna’s singing appealed to connoisseurs and laymen alike, which is well portrayed by the popularity of his film music and the iconic song Mile Sur Mera Tumhara (in which he joined a gamut of singers such as Bhimsen Joshi and Lata Mangeshkar) as well as ability to span the three octaves with deceptive ease.
