Kalamandalam Sankaran Embranthiri
Kalamandalam Sankaran Embranthiri (1944–2007) was one of the most popular Kathakali musicians, credited with initiating a new wave in the rendition of songs for the classical dance-drama from Kerala in South India. His shruti-aligned music was glistened by a velvety voice, easy reach of the three octaves and command over stage proceedings that gave him a massive fan following, even as his form received an abrupt setback in 1990 when he suffered a major ailment from which he could never recover fully.
