Timeline
Kalamandalam Sankaran Embranthiri (1944–2007) was one of the most popular Kathakali musicians, credited with initiating a new wave in the rendition of songs for the classical dance-drama from Kerala in South India.
After completing his schooling, during which he learnt classical Carnatic music from a local teacher named Govinda Pisarody, teenaged Sankaran joined Kerala Kalamandalam in 1958.
Embranthiri wasn't a particularly promising singer during his student days, but soon after completing his training at Kalamandalam began being noticed for his sweet, emotion-laden voice and clear diction.
At the same time he started finding stages in the southern Travancore region, he was employed—first in the Irinjalakuda-based Unnayi Varrier Smaraka Kalanilayam in 1965 and later, in 1970, at FACT Kathakali School near Kochi from where he eventually retired as a Kathakali music teacher.
Embranthiri rose to professional prominence in early 1970s by updating himself on its voice culture that suited the general aesthetics of the times.
His singing had a charismatic appeal that earned him admirers from the mass and the class alike.
Embranthiri's novel rendition style inspired several of his contemporary singers, chiefly Kalamandalam Hyderali and Venmani Kalamandalam Haridas.
In Haridas, he found a perfect cueist singer (sinkiti), taking him under his wings soon after Haridas made a comeback to Kathakali after a decade-old break from the art form.
His shruti-aligned music was glistened by a velvety voice, easy reach of the three octaves and command over stage proceedings that gave him a massive fan following, even as his form received an abrupt setback in 1990 when he suffered a major ailment from which he could never recover fully.
Embranthiri was born in a poor Brahmin family in Vellayoor village of Malappuram district in Malabar.
In August 1990, Embranthiri fell seriously ill, necessitating a kidney transplant the following year.
He did return to Kathakali circuit months later but seldom rose to his vintage form.
Acute diabetes led to amputation of his right leg less than a decade later, but a gritty and tenacious Embranthiri still chose to stay on as a singer, sitting on a wheelchair in one corner of the Kathakali stage.
Embranthiri was chosen for the Swathi Sangeetha Puraskaram in 2003, a year after he received the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi Fellowship.
Embranthiri died on 13 November 2007, at a hospital in Aluva, off Kochi, near the house he built and had been living in during the autumn of his life.
He is survived by his wife and two daughters.
Embranthiri, an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna at the famous Guruvayur temple, had made "Ajitha Hare" and "Pari Pahimaam Hare" his hit numbers among others.
He also held several Kathakali Pada kacheris, or Kathakali song concerts (with instrumental support) without the dancers on stage.
