Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar



Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar was a carnatic singer from Palakkad, Kerala. He is widely known for his majestic voice. He had many students, including K. J. Yesudas and many noted musicians like T. V. Gopalakrishnan, P. Leela, the Jaya-Vijaya twins etc.
I'm also proud to be a descendant this great singer. In a way, he was my great grandfather.
These are some of his many songs.
