The first musician ever to be awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honor, Subbulakshmi was also the first Indian musician to receive the Ramon Magsaysay award.&nbsp; Affectionately called MS Amma, she mostly sang in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Meera Bhajans in Hindi. She was not just the face of Carnatic music, but also a great actor donning the roles of Meera and Sakunthala on the silver screen. She was the first Indian musician to perform at The UN General Assembly.<br />” <br />” Shehnai maestro Ustad Bismillah Khan gave new meaning and prestige to Shehnai, which was traditionally played only during weddings or other ceremonies. He had the rare honour of performing at Delhi’s Red Fort on the eve of Indias Independence Day, the 15th August 1947. He also mesmerized people with his rendition on the occasion of India’s first Republic Day, the 26th of January 1950. His recital had almost become an indispensable part of the Independence Day celebrations relayed by All India Radio and Doordarshan for many years. Ustad Bismillah Khans musical sensibility and superb vision gave his music its unmistakable ecstasy, beauty and tenderness.<br />” <br />” In tomorrow’s Episode, We will bring you the story of Pandit Ravi Shankar and Pandit Bhimsen Joshi.
