A. V. Ramanan

A. V. Ramanan (Aravamudan Vekata Ramanan) is a Tamil television host, singer and an actor. He became a household name in Tamil Nadu during his hosting of the famous Sun TV program Saptha Swarangal.

Ramanan has been a stage singer on the light music circuit for 34 years (which includes the 30 years of his troupe, Musiano).

Much has been written about Ramanan's light music performances — from his astute choice of numbers to Musiano's excellent acoustic skills.

Ramanan's audience almost always comprises people of all ages. From the old to the middle aged, from kids to youth, the cross section is always wide. And Musiano always has something for everyone in its repertoire. Rarely does a Ramanan show fall flat or fail to take off.
