The album features Hindustani classical stalwart Ajoy Chakraborty's daughter Kaushiki as she take sher first step as a full fledged classical singer. As a young effective performer Kaushiki has earned accolades from almost all renowned maestros of the country. This album was a unique performance in the presence of maestros like Asad Ali Khan, Amjad Ali Khan, Alla Rakha, Zakir Hussain, Sultan Khan, Shiv Kumar Sharma and Vijay Kumar Kichlu. Kaushiki had rendered a khayal in raga Kedar and Dadra in Mishra Khammaj in a live concert at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi before these legendary musicians, who remarked that Kaushiki with her talent, promise and scientific training, evolved and perfected by her father and guru Ajoy Chakraborty, would establish herself in the new millennium as one of the finest musicians of India if she persisted in her unflinching riyaz. |
