Farisa, Thank you for the good words. But, have you heard Hiaderaali earlier? He enriched the Kathakali music by his inimitable rendition of the raagas with exemplary manodharma, and such accurate pronunciation of the most difficult Malayalam and Sanskrit words. He simply proved by his music that music is much above, religion, caste, creed, color and language. I worship him.
