Born in 2015, Driven by Thought. Powered by Music.
We’re not just a band — we’re a movement of musical storytelling. Every note we play, every rhythm we strike, is inspired by deep thought and an insatiable curiosity to explore. Our journey has taken us across genres, across ideas — uncovering soundscapes that spark imagination and provoke reflection.
Music That Makes You Think. Stories That Stay With You.
Our performances go beyond entertainment. They’re immersive experiences — weaving Carnatic raagas, powerful narratives, fascinating trivia, and even management philosophies into a dynamic audio-visual journey. Each show is crafted to surprise, stimulate, and stay with you long after the final note.
Every street has a story.
Ours begins at the intersection of melody and rhythm. 72/35 Southern Street isn’t just a name — it’s a tribute to the rich legacy of Carnatic music that fuels our sound.
🎶 72 Melakarta Ragas — the core melodic frameworks that form the DNA of Carnatic compositions
🥁 35 Talams — the essential rhythmic cycles that give shape and pulse to every performance
Together, they represent the complete universe of structured improvisation — the very soul of our sound. That’s where our journey began. And where every performance takes you.

Meet Mr. Orchestration: Hariharan Subramanian

Trivia – Hari has converted an apartment into a Book Library & a Recording Studio. He relishes in reading music & listening to thoughts.
It’s true that a story will tell itself, when it’s ready. It’s also true that the role of a narrator, is to play the part of each character in the story. Our next band member’s role is not only to identify the ripe stories that are ready to speak, but also to play the various roles to amplify its voice.

The great Lee Konitz once said- “As long as there are people trying to play music in a sincere way, there will be Jazz.”

Meet Mr. Melody: B Anantharaman A.K.A Ravi
As the Lead Violinist & Composer of the band, he establishes a strong melody base to the overall presentation with his extensive repertoire.

“If Music wakes you up, makes you think & heals you…I guess music is working.”- A.R. Rahman
Music works on him…and his music works on everybody around.
Meet Mr. Voice: Shivkumar Anantharaman
His harmonious journey is the voyage between his internal voice & external expression. It fortifies the band’s philosophy of Carnatic being the internal voice & all the other genres being the external manifestations.
This voice seeds the fundamental principles of ‘Authenticity’ & ‘Tradition’, that rightly sprout the character of the band.
Shivkumar Anantharaman is a Chartered Accountant and AVP at Deutsche Bank.
Carnatic Classical is a family inheritance, that has been passed to him through many generations. Initiated into vocal music at a very tender age, under his Father & Guru Shri T.S. Anantharaman & Aunt- Guru Smt. T.S. Kaveri, Shiva also absorbed his preliminary violin lessons from Shri S. V. Ramachandran. This AIR ‘A Grade’ violinist, further honed his skills under the tutelage of Shri Bombay Shivkumar & Violin Virtuoso- Padma Bhushan Prof. T. N. Krishnan.
When Shiva plays the violin, his inner voice is instrumental in captivating the listener. He also offers a helping hand to the band on the Keyboard & Pianica.
Those who wish to sing, will always find a song. Many melodies, across several genres, stay sociable with him… and consequently, when he presents it, his voice resonates with the soul of the audience. He believes that the only thing better than music, is more music.
Trivia- Even as classical music streams in his blood; Shiva’s feet recurrently tap to Punjabi Folk. He humours a friendly banter with the other singers of the band, to perform on songs of Kumar Sanu.
“Rhythm is something that you either have, or don’t have. But when you have it, you have it all over” said Elvis Presley…and when the rhythm is all over, it becomes a part of you, it defines you.
Rhythm is not restricted by the type of percussion, or specific beat patterns or intricate mathematical calculations. Its profound sense binds the song and makes the listener one with the song. And with that thought:
Meet Mr. Rhythm- K.G. Vishwanath A.K.A Sriram Gopalakrishnan
K.G. Vishwanath is a Chartered Accountant by qualification & Aviation Consultant by occupation. Sriram is a disciple of Guru Shri K.V. Maniappan, Guru Shri Trichy Raghava Iyer & Padmasri & Sangeetha Kalanidhi Palghat Shri R. Raghu. His craft in handling Classical Rhythm such as Mridangam, Kanjira & Ghatam is as effective as his ability to manage Folk Rhythm such as Dholak, Dholki, Duff & Madal. His dexterity with Global Rhythm such as Cajon, Darbuka, Djembe & Conga is as competent as his understanding of patterns on Electronic Drum Kits & Samplers.
Sriram can also sing with immense feel. Very often when he renders songs like ‘Sanjh Dhale, ‘Surmai Ankhiyon mein’ or ‘Thenpandi Cheemayile’; it has moved the listeners to tears.
An avid listener of various genres of music, Sriram, seeks his inspiration from many legendary musicians. He recognizes that the role of a rhythm contributor, is to embellish the song & engage the audience.
TRIVIA – In the past, Sriram has been a member of the Band ‘OM’ along with Amit Trivedi & Sriram Iyer among others. They also released an album under the Times umbrella.
“Creativity is just connecting things” Steve Jobs.
Simple, yet profound… this quote resonates with the lead singer & guitarist of the band.
Meet Mr. Key Connection: Vishnu Iyer.
He fluently connects the multifarious pieces in the melodic puzzle of the ensemble. His aura generates Youthfulness & Diversity to the band.
Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious & adding the meaningful. This belief helps him connect with several genres including Bollywood, Retro, Bhav-Geet, Pop, Rock, Classical, Folk & Regional. His ‘Root Key’ pitches in tune with songs in Hindi, Tamil, Marathi & English. And whenever desired, this root key attunes with Gujarati, Telugu & Malayalam songs as well.
Vishnu Iyer manages the composer- Shantanu Moitra and produces his shows and it’s content. He is also spreading his wings as a musician.
He is a freelance content-developer & has curated several exclusive live events & television shows with his acumen. His feisty zeal, decodes a concept, toils the production, drives the promotions, enlivens the musical & ultimately enthralls the audience. His guiltless dedication contributes to all departments, adorns every creation & inspires each band member. He upholds a perfect harmony between business & music.
His guru, Mr. Aviv Pereira, trained him in the nuances of handling the guitar. Vishnu, as his guitar, links the Melody to the Rhythm…unites India to the West…bonds Classical to the Popular. Creatively, he connects these seemingly unconnected, by crafting music that is louder than chaos.
Trivia- Vishnu’s illustrious grandfather, Shri Mavelikkara Ramanathan Iyer, has been a recipient of the President’s Award for his involvement in Carnatic Music. He was felicitated by India’s first President, Shri Rajendra Prasad.

The genesis of our street is an inspiration from the roots of Carnatic tradition:
72 Melakarta Ragas – the fundamental set of Melodic structures in Carnatic music.
35 Talams - the underlying principles of Rhythmic beats in Carnatic music.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
