Ramana Balachandhran is a Veena player in the Carnatic tradition. Son of Carnatic music practitioners, Balachandhran and Sharanya, his talent for music was noticed when at a young age he could identify ragas and point out nuances. Ramana’s bani or style is now acknowledged to be unique and his own adaptation. Being a trained percussionist too, he brings in laya or percussive complexities into his elaborations and is adept at Ragam Thanam Pallavi (RTP, a structure that epitomises simultaneous melody and rhythm complexities in Carnatic music) renditions; also, the possibilities of musicality that come at very high tempos are an acknowledged contribution. As a trained vocalist, he sings along to express the lyrics that underlie the emotive melody.
