Deva, lovingly known as "Thenisai Thendral" and the "Father of Gaana," is a true legend in South Indian music. With a career spanning over 36 years and more than 400 film scores, he helped shape the sound of Tamil cinema through his infectious beats and vibrant compositions. His signature style, blending classical Indian sounds with urban rhythms, brought a unique “Madras” vibe to his music that fans couldn’t get enough of. Deva’s breakthrough in films like Annamalai, Baasha, and Arunachalam in the 1990s gave us unforgettable Rajinikanth anthems that are still iconic today. Starting from humble beginnings, Deva's journey from theatre music to the silver screen was marked by hard work and innovation. His songs, especially in the "gaana" genre, became synonymous with local celebrations and everyday life in Tamil Nadu, resonating deeply across generations. With upcoming projects like Laal Salaam, Deva's music continues to reach new audiences, proving his tunes are truly timeless. Imagine experiencing his hits live, from Baasha to Kushi and beyond—a true musical treat for all. Don’t miss your chance to catch this legend live and witness the magic of Thenisai Thendral himself!
