Kerala is a region of India, musically known for Sopanam. Sopanam is religious in nature, and developed through singing invocatory songs at the Kalam of Kali, and later inside temples. Some famous singers are Neralattu Rama Poduval, Janardhanan Nedungadi and Damodara Marar.
Kerala is also home of Karnataka/Carnatic music. Legends like Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar was best known for mettalic voice. Popular Yesudaas and others have continued the tradition in Kerala.
Recently child prodigy violin wizard L. Athira Krishna , granddaughter of yesteryears musician of Vidwan Gopala Pillai was enlisted in the prestigious Guinness Book Of World Records , for her 32 hour long non-stop violin concert.
