[Leica] Indian music examples

[jayanand at gmail.com (Jayanand Govindaraj)]

Was it K.V.Narayanaswamy? If so yes, he was a major figure in Carnatic
music, and he died in 2002. As an aside, he sang at my parents' wedding in
1948...In our tradition in South India there is always live music with the
reception at weddings, though that is changing nowadays:
