A Mehfil with Smt Bharathi Prathap (Khayal)

 

Smt Bharathi Prathap was initiated into Carnatic music in her childhood and later moved to Hindustani music at the behest of her uncle. She trained with Pandit Marutrao Inamdar and Pandit Rama Rao Naik and has been learning from Vidushi Lalith J. Rao for over 15 years. By virtue of her sustained ta’lim, she has a vast repertoire of the Agra-Atrauli gharana. For this mehfil, Bharathi will present a rare prakar of Kalyan, a variant of Malhar and compositions of her Dada-Guru Ustad Khadim Hussain Khan
