印度泰米尔电影作曲家德瓦逝世享年75岁：将金奈街头加纳音乐带入主流银幕
金奈——据 Cinema Express 10 月 17 日报道，印度泰米尔语电影作曲家、歌手德瓦（Deva）当天在金奈逝世，享年 75 岁。报道称，他于当天上午约 8 时 30 分在金奈苏里亚医院（Surya Hospital）突然离世，死因等进一步细节有待公布。
德瓦本名德瓦内桑·乔卡林加姆（Devanesan Chokkalingam），1950 年 11 月 20 日出生，被影迷与乐界称为「特尼赛·滕德拉尔」（Thenisai Thendral，意为「蜜乐微风」）。他在 1980 年代末至 1990 年代初迅速走红，三十多年间为数百部泰米尔语、泰卢固语、卡纳达语与马拉雅拉姆语影片谱曲。他最具标志性的贡献，是把金奈的街头「加纳」（gaana）音乐传统带入主流电影音乐。其代表作品包括《Annamalai》《Baashha》《Aasai》《Kadhal Kottai》《Nerrukku Ner》《Ninaithen Vandhai》《Priyamudan》《Vaalee》与《Kushi》等影片的配乐与歌曲。
德瓦曾获泰米尔纳德邦政府颁发的「卡莱马马尼」（Kalaimamani）荣誉，并凭《Aasai》获得泰米尔纳德邦电影奖最佳音乐导演奖。他的儿子斯里坎特·德瓦（Srikanth Deva）同为作曲家，弟弟萨贝什（Sabesh）与穆拉利（Murali）也从事电影音乐工作。
