Kumar Gandharva

Date of Birth: 8/04/1924

Legend with only one lung and his will power.

Born as Shivaputra Siddharamayya Komkalimath in Sulebhavi near Belgaum (Karnataka), he already showed signs of musical genius by the age of 5. Due to his exceptional skills, he was called ‘Gandharva’ (the divinely figures who sing in heavens). His mastery of technique and musical knowledge was so rapid that Gandharva himself was teaching at the school before he had turned 20. By his early 20s, Gandharva was seen as a star of music and was praised by critics

He was not just a singer, but a legend who was considered to be an incarnation of the divine Gandharvas.

Due to Tuberculosis during his late 20s, one of his lungs was completely damaged. The other lung was also infected. Thanks to new antibiotics that were discovered, his second lung (and his life) was saved. However, he remained completely bed-ridden for good 5-6 years. There was no hope that he would ever return to the world of singing. With his will power, resolve and great care from his wife, he recovered and went on to become one of the best Indian classical singers of the country.
