Brainfade Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Thank you for the years of melodious memories. You left us too soon. Child prodigy-turned master musician Mandolin U. Shrinivas (45) passed away at 9 a.m. at a private hospital in the city on Friday following a failed liver transplant. Hailing from Palakol in Andhra Pradesh, Uppalapu Shrinivas, born on February 28, 1969, showed an uncanny interest in his father Sathyanarayana's mandolin at a very young age. He stormed the Carnatic music scene with his first public performance in 1978 and since then there was no looking back. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/mandolin-srinivas-passes-away/article6425892.ece http://www.thehindu.com/features/a-child-prodigyturned-master-musician/article6425911.ece?ref=slideshow

yoda Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Didn't know he had health issues. The guy was a child prodigy. His double mandolin CD was one of my earliest Carnatic CD purchases. RIP!
kubrickian Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Great loss for Carnatic music and music in general. He was very young too. RIP
