Alathur Srinivasa Iyer

Alathur Srinivasa Iyer (1911 - 1980), born in a Telug-speaking Brahmin family in Tamil Nadu, was an Indian vocalist from Karnataka. Together with Sivasubramania Iyer he formed the successful duo known as the "Alathur Brothers", though the two were not in fact brothers. A student of Alathur Venkatesa Iyer, Srinivasa gave his first performances when he was ten years old. From 1944 to 1968 he was a court musician for the Maharajah of Travancore.
