Tu Chanda Main Chandni

I have heard this song first time when Sunidhi Chauhan sang this song in her childhood in a TV competition "meri awaz suno". She won 1st prize and Lata Mangeshkar was one of the judges. I remember those beautiful days, when such competitions were more encouraging and inspiring then today's commercial competition. An amazing song by Lata Mangeshkar.

Kishori Amonkar

Kishori Amonkar, who is the idol for me and my all time favourite. I remember I heard her live when I was 12 years old. "saptak", a renowned music school in ahmedabad, where I took my music education, conducts an annual music festival every year. In this festival all legends like Ustad Zakir Hussain, Pt. Jasraj, Pt. Ravi Shankar etc performs. And all the students of that music school would get free pass to see this festival. The show used to start at 7pm. And all this big stars would perform in the end. One day my dad took me to that festival where Kishori Amonkar was the lead performer. After hearing her live, I became her die hard fan. She has an amazing range and her own way of singing. I loved her style and the way she would control any thing she sings. She sings in Jaipur gharana. And I loved the taste of jaipur gharana though I was learning in Lucknow gharana. After hearing her, I purchased lot of her classical music raagas. Thanks to those people who uploaded her all kind of renditions.
