Hi,

The last of the golden trio of female carnatic music jambhavans is no more. Perhaps you can add NCV also in this list but unfortunately she died young.

Perhaps I would like to add only one tidbit about DKP. She was the only female musician for whom the greatest of all mridangam artists, Palghat Mani Iyer, chose to play as accompanying artist as he felt she would not miss her talams when he played his mridangam. Later the two artists became relatives too through marriage of their respective off-springs, if I'm not mistaken.

May DKP's soul rest in peace.
