Biography
Tiruvidaimarudur Ramaswamy Mahalingam, affectionately known as Mali, was an Indian flautist born on November 6, 1926, in Tiruvidaimarudur, Tanjavur district, Tamil Nadu. He began learning music from his maternal uncle Jalra Gopala Iyer at a young age and started playing the flute secretly against his father's wishes. His first concert was in 1933 at the Thyagaraja festival in Mylapore, where he impressed notable musicians Parur Sundaram Iyer and Musiri Subramania Iyer. Mahalingam revolutionized Carnatic music flute-playing with his unique style, which included continuous playing, gamakas, and a redesigned bamboo flute. He collaborated with prominent musicians such as Palghat Mani Iyer and Palani Subramaniam Pillai. He released albums such as Carnatic Flute, Krishna Gana Sabha 1953, Divine Sounds of the Bamboo Flute Vol 1 & 2, One and only Mali, Sitapati, and Flûte en concert â Inde du sud (1979). He passed away on May 31, 1986.
