Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna, an internationally renowned Carnatic musician from the illustrious musical lineage of composer Saint Tyagaraja, wore many hats in his lifetime. Having made a stage debut at the age of seven, he was hailed as a child prodigy. From then till the time he passed away, at age eighty-six in 2016, he continued to be in the spotlight, as a composer, playback singer and even, briefly, as a character actor. This is a story of the many lives of Dr Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna. Veejay Sai’s in-depth research into his life and work led him deep into unseen archival material and across the Carnatic musical landscape of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Fortified by interviews with his family members, disciples and peers, The Many Lives of Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna, a definitive biography of the musical genius, is not only a revealing account of the personal traits and facets of an unparalleled genius, but is also a portrait of India’s classical music world, a place as much of beauty as of untrammeled egos. Veerjay Sai is an award winning author, editor, biographer, translator and culture critic. He has written extensively on the Indian performing arts traditions and practitioners for over two decades. He has been documenting the cultural history of India.Veejay Sai for The Many Lives of Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna
