Jaya Radhakrishnan, 1944-

Jaya Radhakrishnan performs traditional Indian music. Indian folk and classical music comes in many forms. Some songs may tell epic tales, while others may express poetry about love, religion, or nature with corresponding dances; additional forms may feature lengthy instrumental improvisations. The songs Jaya Radhakrishnan performs are primarily in the Carnatic style and span many centuries. Accompanied by the drone of her harmonium and percussion from her son, Jaya Radhakrishnan shared a rich repertoire of Indian folk songs with audiences at the Florida Folk Festival.
