Thichur Brothers
Dual Vocal
Trichur Brothers, Srikrishna Mohan and Ramkumar Mohan are world renowned Carnatic Musicians. Sons of veteran Mridangam Vidwan Shri Trichur R Mohan, the brothers were exposed to Carnatic Music from a very tender age. They were titled "Trichur Brothers" by HH Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Kanchi, Shri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal. They are extremely fortunate to have performed in front of many Mahatmas (Saints).
They had their training under Madurai Shrimati Balamani Eswar. They were trained further by Shri Thamarakkadu Govindan Namboothiri. Later for nearly a decade they were fostered in the nuances of Advanced Carnatic Music, with emphasis on Manodharma singing, by Late Prof. Neyyattinakara Mohanachandran. Currently the brothers are under the tutelage of PadmaBhushan Shri P S Narayanaswami.
It goes without saying that both SriKrishna and Ramkumar are trained in the Laya (Rhythm) aspect of Carnatic Music by their father Shri Trichur R Mohan
