Chitti Babu was one of the most illustrious veena vidvans of Andhra Pradesh. Born on October 13, 1936, he showed prodigious talent at an early age, beginning to play as a child and presenting his first public concert when he was just 12 years old. He dedicated his life to perfection in veena playing, developing an exquisite tonal quality and a refined sense of expression that became his hallmark. He toured widely, both in India and abroad, and earned a reputation for combining technical mastery with deep musical feeling, making him one of the leading exponents of the instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis recording presents a focused selection of classical repertoire that highlights Chitti Babu’s lyrical approach and mastery of the veena. The album features two popular ragas, Panthuvarali and Kapi, with kritis set to Rupakam and Adi tala respectively, and showcases his ability to blend melodic nuance with rhythmic clarity. He is accompanied by a small ensemble of traditional percussion and drone instruments, and the performances are presented with clear, intimate recording that captures the tonal detail of the veena. The release serves both as an accessible introduction to his art and as a fine document of his mature musical voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccompanists: K. Veerabhadra Rao - Mridangam; U. K.
