T Jayammal & family at their residence in 1955

Dance music recorded by UNESCO in 1955 at Balasaraswati's residence in Kilpauk, chennai. The audio quality of this recording is impeccable for a recording from 1955. The fact that this was recorded at home is just fascinating considering the audio quality. Jayammal only used to sing padams for Balasaraswati's dance, a recording of her singing a jatiswaram or a varnam is very rare. Thank you Aniruddha Knight for sharing these details with me.
