About AIMA
Striving for Excellence in art and bettering lives of artists across the world since 1984!!
Onam Vannallo
With the blessings of the Almighty and our beloved Guruji, Dr. TVG, AIMA is deeply honoured to present this audio-visual gift— Onam Vannallo — the first song of our Kala Pratibha initiative.
Kala Pratibha is a labour of love, offering cost-free mentoring, training, and performance opportunities to hidden talents whose voices might otherwise be lost due to financial constraints.
This song is especially close to our hearts, as it features five extraordinary vocalists from AIMA’s residential scholarship program and marks the debut of our beloved Devie Akka, Dr. Devie Nethiyar, as both composer and lyricist. Every note of the melody is brought to life by the gifted Biju Paulose, a true artist and unsung hero. The AIMA family features in the video.
With all our hearts, we hope this Onam song touches your spirit just as creating it has touched ours.
