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.
