ABOUT:
~~~~~~
Annamayya (or Annamacharya) was a Hindu saint born in the 15th century in Taḷḷapāka, a village in Cuddapah district of Andhra Pradesh. Born with a gift for poetry and song, even as a boy, Annamayya would improvise songs on Venkateswara and was always preoccupied by Him. In fact, he is the earliest known Indian musician to compose songs called sankirtanas in praise of Venkateshwara.
Annamayya spent his life composing keertanas and padams on Lord Venkateswara, which totaled 32,000. Of these, only about 14,000 are available now - engraved on copper plates which were hidden for centuries in a niche of Sri Venkateswara temple at Tirumala. The musical form of the keertana songs that he composed, which are still popular among Carnatic music concert artists, have strongly influenced the structure of Carnatic music compositions.
