KOCHI: P. Parameswaran Nair, popularly known as Kerala Saigal, is to be honoured in the land of Saigal – Punjab — next month. The K.L. Saigal Memorial Trust, Jalandhar, has invited Mr. Nair to sing at various concerts at Chandigarh, Shimla and Jalandhar from July 11 to 14. It is a rare gesture on the part of the Punjabis to invite a Malayali to sing the songs of Saigal in the land of the legendary singer, who was a passion with a generation that has gone by. This is the sixth time that Mr. Nair is being invited to sing in North India during the past 13 years. Born in Thiruvananthapuram, this Kochi-based singer has carved a niche for himself by rendering Saigal Sangeeth since his debut at a city club in 1985. He has done more than 200 public performances and mehfils on Saigal Sangeeth throughout the country and abroad. Besides Saigal’s film songs, Mr. Nair also renders bhajans, thumri, geeths, ghazals of Urdu poets like Mirza Ghalib, Arzoo and Seemab. His Kochi house is full of Saigal memorabilia. In Nair’s own words, “The more and more I hear Saigal and learn about him, I am convinced that there has been only one Saigal, never before him nor after him.”
