Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna (see Mangalampalli Balamurali Krishna for more details) is an Indian musician. He was born in the small village of Sankaraguptam in Andhra Pradesh on July 6, 1930. His father Pattabiramayya was a well known musician and could play the flute, violin and veena and his mother Suryakantamma was an excellent veena player. Balamuralikrishna thus began his musical career at a very young age. He is an enterprising instrumentalist who plays violin, viola, khanjira , veena, mridangam and other instruments.
