Chenda melam ~ kuzhal instrument performer

 

Triplicane reverberates music – in the grand Garuda seva purappadu for Sri Azhagiyia Singar, there was the traditional Nadaswaram of Chitoor Devarajulu & party;  Sri Ganapathy’s clarinet/Sax/ band troup and there was the Chanda melam – Kerala style. 

The main instruments in a Chenda Melam are the Chenda, Kombu, Kuzhal, and Elathalam. The Chenda is a cylindrical drum, and the other instruments are wind and cymbal instruments.
