The Beena Sangeet Orchestra- Gems of Yankarran (Trinidad, 1970?)

"DEDICATED IN MEMORY OF THE LATE ISAAC YANKARRAN

This album features selections by an outstanding Trinidad and Tobago artist HARM YANKARRAN. It is in fact a tribute to a late Father whose premature demise on 13th Feb 1969 shocked the cultural world. For indeed, the late ISAAC YANKARRAN was the unparalled melody genius of Indian Classical singing in these parts. His styling was distinct and unique, earning hm an infectious popularity.

ISAAC YANKARRAN is no more but he has left behind a progeny whose similarity in physique, voice and styling confuse even the closest friends and admirers. SHARM, who was born on March 4th 1951 at Brikfield Road, Carapichaima, Trinidad was inspired by his great father at a very tender age. And it is clear that the late ISAAC saw in his young son the sort of basic talent that could be moulded into greatness. At the age of 10, SHARM was already a member of his father's orchestra, singing, playing the mandolin, harmonium and accordian under the watchful eye and guidance of his father...

...Formed ten years ago ath Rickson Street, El Dorado Village, Tunapuna Trinidad W.I., by the Soogrim Brothers, Motilal and Suresh, THE BEENA SANGEET ORCHSTRA is now one of the top orchestras in the country. Notwithstanding many difficulties, the orchestra kept together as a group and has contributed significantly to the development of Indian Culture in Trinidad and Tobago." (from the back cover)
