Parai Musical International Awards
Regarding Us
Parai Musical International Awards is named after an India’s most famous, emotional musical instrument “Parai”. It is a traditional percussion instrument (Drum) of South India having its root in Tamilnadu (Tamil speaking South Indian state).
In Tamil language which is one of the oldest languages of the world, “Parai” means “To speak” or “To tell”. The drums were used for multiple purposes including signaling people to gather, alerting them to upcoming war, requesting civilians to leave the battlefield, announcing victory or defeat, stopping a breach of water body, gathering farmers for farming activities, warning wild animals about people’s presence, during festivals, weddings and other celebrations, and as part of worship of nature.
This is the reason behind naming our festival with such an emotional, musical word “Parai”. We at PMIA, focus towards finding and recognizing the extreme talents in the field of music. There are so many minds behind this Music world. PMIA is traveling towards bringing all these masterminds to the outside world.
