Pallavur Appu Marar

[5] Ammini was forced to remarry Subramania Iyer, and had two more sons, Manian and Kunhikuttan, who, years later, completed the Pallavur trio.

He, soon, became adept at playing chenda, edeka and timila, under the tutelage of Thiruvilvamala Kondaswami and Parathuveettil Nanu Marar.

[2][7] By the time, Appu Marar died in a private hospital in Palakkad at 4.00am on 8 December 2002,[8] due to age related illnesses, he had already performed at many stages including in Russia and at 47 Thrissur Poorams and 60 Nemmara Velas.

[9] K. Ramachandran, a short filmmaker from Kerala, created a documentary, Kaalam (The Unending Time), on the life of Appu Marar.

Crescent Music has released an audio on compact disc, which has the recording of many of Appu Marar's performance on edaka.
