Thetakudi Harihara Subash Chandran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thetakudi Harihara Subash Chandran is regarded by many as the foremost Carnatic (South Indian classical) percussion teacher. His students include top percussionists such as V. Selvaganesh (kanjira), N. Ramakrishnana (mridangam), N. Ganesh Kumar (kanjira), and many upcoming young talents around the world. He is an outstanding player of the ghatam and acknowledged as the greatest living exponent of konnakol (vocal percussion). He also performs on the mridangam, kanjira, and morsing. He is the son of T. R. Harihara Sharma and the younger brother of ghatam maestro T. H. Vinayakaram. He is one of the few remaining exponents of konnakol or solkattu, the art of producing percussion music through one's vocal cords.

He has released the first instructional DVD for ghatam and konnakol in 2007.
