[@pisthall]

Voyager Spacecraft? Not that Mani Iyer vaaL would have denounced any new technology especially when it honours him. But can't you think of other great quotes about this son of Palghat soil, without thinking like an average Indian immigrant of USA, inwit? But thanks for posting this great Alathur video exemplifying the combined geniuses of these greatest artists (Lalgudi sir is quite at home too!).

[@kgm1961]

Great

[@veryangrystorks]

What is the tala in this video, and how is it clapped/waved? I am curious...

@pisthall he is just trying to illustrate that PMI's genius is great enough to be recognized by the entire world.

[@SreevatsaKota]

Who's the singer?

[@narayanagaula]

The singer is Alathur Srinivasa Iyer.

[@ravisarmanputhillam6705]

Alathur brothers

[@dbadagna]

There is no mridangam or Carnatic music on the Voyager Golden Record. The Indian selection is a rendition of Raga Bhairavi by the Hindustani singer Surashri Kesarbai Kerkar.
