Kunjumani and Neela - THE SIKKIL SISTERS

Strangely, women flautists had been rare till the Sikkil sisters entered the field and very quickly distinguished themselves as top artists on the flute. Sikkil sisters have been giving concerts together since 1962 and have had the advantage of prominent artistes accompanying them. Top artistes of the AIR, they have been giving hundreds of performances at all the Sabhas, television and elsewhere.

KALAIMAMANI SIKKIL MALA CHANDRASEKHAR:

Flute artiste Sikkil Mala Chandrasekhar continues in the tradition of her famous gurus: the Sikkil Sisters--Kunjumani & Neela. In playing style, Mala combines the strongest aspects of both Kunjumani's clear classic lines with Neela's flair and expressiveness.

Mala imbibed through her mothers the flute artistry of their peternal uncle, Azhiyur Narayanaswamy Iyer and the rigorous rhythmic training given by their mrudungam playing father, Azhiyur Natesa Iyer. Other major influences on Mala's playing are the expertise and repertoire of noted vocalist and teacher Radha Viswanathan and of Radha's mother and guru M.S.Subbulakshmi whose family Mala joined by marriage.
