Oottukkadu Venkata Kavi – brilliant musician, poet and creator – strode on the sands of time in India, sometime between 1700 and 1765. Though some of his contributions are well known, this book, for the first time, explores numerous hitherto unknown facets of this divine composer. The scores of illustrations from the composer’s works not only put forth several new perspectives but also challenge many accepted opinions about the evolution of Carnatic music around turns of the 17 century. This book is a result of a study of over 400 compositions of the mega-composer- and analyses Venkata Kavi’s substantial contributions to melody, rhythm, literature, poetry, opera, dance, culture, history and spiritualism. It brings to fore his exemplary humble, cheerful and positive attitude.
