CARNATIC VOCAL | D.K.PATTAMMAL LIVE CONCERT VOL.1 | JUKEBOX

Damal Krishnaswamy Pattammal (Tamil: தாமல் கிருஷ்ணசுவாமி பட்டம்மாள்) (28 March 1919 – 16 July 2009) was a prominent Carnatic musician and a playback singer for film songs in many Indian languages. She along with her contemporaries M. S. Subbulakshmi and M. L. Vasanthakumari were (and still are) popularly referred to as the Female trinity of Carnatic Music. This trio initiated the entry of women into mainstream Carnatic Music. She has been appreciated all over the world by Carnatic music lovers.
Pattammal was born in an orthodox Brahmin family in Kancheepuram of Tamil Nadu, India. She was named as Alamelu, but fondly called "Patta" as a child prodigy. Her father, Damal Krishnaswamy Dikshithar, who was deeply interested in music, inspired her to learn Carnatic music. Her mother, Kanthimathi (Rajammal), although a talented singer herself, was not permitted to sing even for friends or relatives.
She received no formal gurukula training. As a child, Pattammal sat through the concerts, and on returning home, notated the kritis she heard, and key phrases of ragas. In 1929, at age 10, Pattamal gave her first radio performance for Madras Corporation Radio. she was considered as an authority on Muthuswami Dikshitar's compositions. She learnt authentic versions of these compositions from Ambi Dikshithar, a descendant of Muthuswami Dikshithar. She popularised several Dikshithar's compositions in her concerts, and also sang Tiruppugazhs and Tevarams that she learnt from Appadurai Achari. Pattammal also learnt many compositions of Papanasam Sivan, directly from the composer himself.
D. K. Pattammal has received several awards and titles throughout her career.She died of natural causes in Chennai on 16 July 2009 at 1:30 pm.
