PROMOTING TELUGU LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND MAESTRO GHANTASALA'S MUSICAL LEGACY

A strong intention of introducing and popularizing the compositions and music of the legendary Telugu music composer and singer, Padmashree Sri.Ghantasala to the current and future generations has led Master T.Sharathchandra, a popular singer himself, honoured

with several prestigious titles like ‘Swara hamsa’, ‘Apara Ghantasala’ in establishing Ghantasala Sangeetha Kalasala, one and only a music school solely dedicated to the music genre of the Maestro.

He is a prime educator who had put innumerable efforts in nurturing the naïve talents in technical areas of singing and simultaneously promoting Telugu language and literature by initiating many successful projects like “Padyaniki Pattabhishekam”, “Pataku Pallavi Pranam” and so on.

In a view of promoting Ghantasala’s music and Telugu literature globally, besides our colleges in Andhra Pradesh, India, we are advancing a step forward by our On-line teaching concept to reach even the non-resident Indians and tried to put in our best efforts in making this platform accessible to everyone and make learning a joyful experience. We have created this on-line platform which is a kind of e-school where one can learn to sing and enjoy the evergreen Ghantasala’s songs, musical compositions and poems at their best convenience.

About Ghantasala

We know of numerous singers who touched our souls at some point in time of our life by their soulful singing which may have deeply inspired most us too to trek the path. One of those gems who swayed millions of human hearts by his divine voice is none other than Sri Ghantasala Venkateswar Rao who is not only a gifted singer , but also a "true poet" who with his melodious voice could comprehend and did give expression to the deepest feelings of love, pity, joy, suffering, happiness and bitterness in a manner no one else could, or did.

Padmasri Ghantasala was gifted with a "most majestic voice" that had a rare richness of both quality and quantity. Ghantasala's contribution to Telugu film music remains unparalleled. Ghantasala, was undoubtedly, the most difficult act to follow. With his majestic voice, the singer stirred the very souls of all categories of listeners and their unfathomable yearnings by his picturesque visualization of the lyrical content in the sound medium.

Backed up by the in-depth knowledge accrued through intense training and hence the skill in the exposition of Carnatic vocal music, his rendering was an aesthetic offering of the infinite ramifications of human emotions, the 'Navarasas'. That was the play-back singer par excellence, Ghantasala Venkateswara Rao, the melody imperial.
