D.K Pattammal | Carnatic vocalist

Feel the resonance of evening ragas...D.K Pattammal was a renowned Carnatic vocalist. She was born at Kancheepuram in Tamil Nadu. Her love for Carnatic music came from her father who was a keen enthusiast. She received no formal training, but by the age of ten she had already given her first radio performance, followed by a public concert three years later. Her knowledge of Muthuswami Dikshitar's compositions was considerable and she became the first woman to perform the difficult Ragam Thanam Pallavi in concerts.
