Music museum coming up in Kerala

 

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 3 If all goes well, a music museum will be set up in Kerala with a collection of songs, long-playing records and song books of singers.

Cultural organisation Swaralaya will set up the museum, former state minister and senior CPI-M leader M.A. Baby, who is acitvely invloved with the group, told reporters here on Sunday.

He said the documentation process, which is the first step to setting up the museum, has begun.

"We generally don't document things and musicians are not too far behind. Singer Yesudas still does not know how many songs he has sang. We have initiated the process to set up a music museum and it includes collection of songs, L.P.records, song books to name a few," he said.

Senior journalist R.S. Babu, who also works with Swaralaya, said the decision was taken in meeting on Sunday.
