A masterpiece album released in 1971 by Prabha Atre, the most prolific singer of Kiranagarana, the most traditional style of Indian classical music, and a well known author who has published 11 books on the music. All the three songs are in the traditional Hindustani form, with magical vocalisations throughout, accompanied by Narayanrao Indorkar on the tabla and Anant Bedekar on the harmonium. In particular, the unique vibrato singing in the middle and latter half of the A-side will vibrate your cells.
