 Taranath Rao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taranath moved from his native Mangalore to Bombay in 1932, and for decades was a scion of that city's music scene--first as a performer and concert organizer, and later, as his health declined, a musical mentor and authority.
He was respected for his close ties with some of the most important instrumentalists, like Allaudin Khan--whose early Bombay concerts he was influential in arranging--Ravi Shankar--for whom he was an original accompanist--and the revolutionary flautist Pannalal Ghosh.
Taranath's friendship and scholarship were also sought by the giants of the Bombay tabla world, like Amir Hussain Khan, Pandharinath Nageshkar, Nikhil Ghosh, and Nizamuddin Khan, and he had the honorable privelege of being a confidant of the unparalled Ahmedjan Thirakwa.
