Pathanamthitta · Kerala
Music people
grew up with.
Originals Orchestra was built in the public life of Kerala: festival grounds, parish celebrations, temple festivals, cultural programmes and the roads between them.
Where it began
A live orchestra
built in public.
Originals began in 1990 and became known across Kerala through the oldest channel in live music: one memorable night leading to the next invitation.
The format is bigger than a group of singers. Voices, instrumentalists, sound, lights and stage coordination move together as one team.
That collective energy, not a playlist, is the reason the name continues across generations.
The story continues
Led by
Prakash Sarang.
Prakash Sarang leads the orchestra on stage, carrying forward its commitment to live performance, preparation and connection with the crowd.
