Dance appropriate versions of thillanas

sxm2872 · Post by **sxm2872** » 08 Sep 2007, 04:57

I have come across several thillanas sung and composed by Dr. Balamuralikrishna. Are there any versions that are suitable for dancing (i.e., sung at a slower pace)? If so, I would appreciate some information about CDs / cassettes where these might be found. Many thanks for your help!

Dr.BMK's most famous thillanas that have been successfully adopted into dance are his kadanakuthoohalam and kuntalavarali compositions.
they are lively and melliflous.
