Pallavur Appu Marar was an Indian percussionist, widely considered to be a maestro in the Pallavur (Palakkad) style of thayambaka, edakka, sopana sangeetham, melam and panchavadyam.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Thayambaka Palakkad style )〕 He was the eldest of the three brothers, the other two being Pallavur Manian Marar and Pallavur Kunhikuttan Marar, who formed the famed Pallavur trio.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Times of India )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Marar Sabha bio )〕 ==Biography== Appu Marar was born in 1928, at Pallavur, a small hamlet in Palakkad district, in the south Indian state of Kerala, to Shankaran Marar and Ammini.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Birth )〕 His father, a nomad, left the young Appu and his mother, when he was one year old, throwing the family into poverty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Film Kalam )〕 Ammini was forced to remarry Subramaniam Iyer, and had two more sons, Manian and Kunhikuttan, who, years later, completed the ''Pallavur trio''.〔 Appu started learning traditional percussion instruments at a very young age and had his ''arangettam'' (debut) on chenda, at Pallavur Shiva Temple, the age of 8. He, soon, became adept at playing chenda, edeka and timila, under the tutelage of Thiruvilvamala Kondaswami and Parathuveettil Nanu Marar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Malayalam One India )〕 Appu Marar saw his father for the first time, when he was 17 years old, by which time, he had already mastered those traditional percussion instruments and had started performing at various temples in Kerala.〔〔 By the time, Appu Marar died in 2002, due to age related illnesses, he had already performed at many stages including in Russia and at 47 Thrissur Poorams and 60 Nemmara Velas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Asha blog )〕 He performed, without break, at Thrissur pooram, heading the panchavadyam for Paremekkavu Devaswom from 1960 till his death in 2002.〔 The legacy of Appu Marar lives on through his numerous disciples, who are active at the temple festivals across the state. His son, Pazhambalacode Prakasan, is also a known edaka exponent.〔 However, the most notable contribution of Appu Marar remains the style of panchavadyam, he, along with his brothers, have created, the ''Pallavur style''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pallavur Appu Marar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
