Immortal music of GNB (G.N.Balasubramaniyam)

The music of GNB, the Prince Charming of Carnatic music

I am trying to showcase snippets from the available recordings of the Great GNB, the carnatic musician par excellence. I will post podcast of one song at a time.

Hope this will be enjoyed by the young and old who have an ear for carnatic music (a music system of South India). Connoisseurs of carnatic music will readily agree with me that GNB was a trail blazer who rose as a lightning and enthralled millions with his inimitable style.

More on GNB can be had from my web site on GNB at www.sangeethapriya.org/~gnb
