http://www.looptv.net interview with K.V. Balu. K. V. Balu is one of the few percussionists with an aesthetic sense of approach on Indian Percussion. Based in Mylapore, Madras -- K.V. Bala Krishnan (alias) K.V. Balu started his music career as a child playing in the Ramakrishna Math for their 'Bhajans'.
While attending college in Kalakshetra he was taught by Professor Mr Idangam with Palghat Ramanathan Iyer. After graduating he turned pro, and in 1992 was asked to play in the fusion band fusion band 'Sri Sri Maha Periyava's' -- 'Swara Laya Mela', by grammy award winner 'Vikku' Vinayaka Ram -- Ghatam Maestro.
Balu is an extremely capable and world renowned musician and writer who has mastered over 10 of India's percussion instruments. He has given hundreds of solo performances with fusion bands in Madras and the Far -- East countries. In 1996, Balu played Jugalbandhi with world music legend Mr Idangist Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman.
SInce then Balu has scored for over a hundred films and given huge numbers of solo performances spreading his craft and sound worldwide. He has recently worked on several supremely authentic soundpacks specifically for Loopmasters, including 'Indian Sessions -- Vol 1′ and 'Indian Sessions -- Vol 2′.
