SUMMARY:Voices behind the Bandish
DESCRIPTION:The first students of Khayal were women. The first recording of a female voice in Hindustani music was in 1902: Gauhar Jan\, the renowned tawaif and classical musician from Kolkata. Yet\, bandishes are rarely attributed to women composers.\n \nThis program presents compositions exclusively by female artists over the ages\, restoring credit to their genius. Devotional composers like Meera Bai and Pratapbala\, Thumri singers like Girija Devi and Naina Devi\, Khayal singers Prabha Atre\, Veena Sahasrabuddhe and Ashwini Bhide. The program will be narrated in English\, and Srivani’s vocals will be accompanied by harmonium\, tabla\, and tanpura.  \nThis is Srivani’s response to the incredible women who came before her.  \n\nSupported by:\n\n
