Rare gems of Indian classical music, by Manoj Govindraj

This episode discusses about the huge contribution of the legendary violinist Vidushi Dr. N Rajam. She was the first female violinist performing Hindustani music which proved to be a source of inspiration for other female violinists.

This episode talks about a very popular vocalist from a musically rich region of Bengal, Vidushi Malabika Kanan, who set new standards in Hindustani vocal music. She was probably one of the first female vocalists who sang in a much higher pitch than her contemporary female vocalists, a trend that is very commonly followed in today’s times.

This episode talks about the immense contribution of Pandit Uday Bhawalkar in not just preserving the slightly less popular North Indian classical music style of Drupad-Dhamar, but also spreading its knowledge far and wide by way of teaching and performance.
