Musical tour of Mylapore

The Mylapore musical tour by Sriram V took us through the four mada veethis of Kapali temple in mylapore. The lanes are filled with stories of tradition, music and art -  We got to hear amazing snippets about the legendary composer Papanasam Sivam, the marghazi bajans around the mada veethi, the doyens of Carnatic music and academies which promoted this art form - Stories about KVK, Papanasam Sivam's songs, DK Pattamal, Arubathimoovar and Panguni Uthram festivals, various anecdotes about artists - from the Madras Musings Man himself.. What a day! Here's a video of the tour..
