Malladi Brothers

The Malladi Brothers hail from a family of musicians from Andhra Pradesh. They inherit music from their grandfather, the Late Malladi Sri Rama Murthy, a great Harikatha Exponent of his time. 

They had their initial training from their father, Sri Malladi Suri Babu, a Senior Vidwan of Andhra Pradesh and an illustrious disciple of Late Sri Voleti Venkateswarulu, a legendary musician of great repute.

Malladi brothers received their advanced training from “Sangitha  Kalanidhi” Sri Nedunuri Krishna Murthy whose vast experience and knowledge shaped them into successful Carnatic music performers. The Brothers had an opportunity to learn rare compositions from the Genius of Music, Dr Sripada Pinakapani, recipient of the prestigious Sangitha Kalanidhi and Padma Bhushan awards.
