Answer to nAdAlApa 13  is John B Higgings and Trichy Shankaran. They were the founders of South Indian music in York University in Toronto, Canada.

Below is an excerpt from Trichy Shankaran’s interview.

“In 1971 I received an invitation from York University, Toronto, to co-found a South Indian music program along with the late American singer, Jon B. Higgins. He was one of the very few accomplished American singers of Carnatic music studying and performing in India.”

Congratulations to Asha Sivakumar and Padmanabh Sridhar!!!
