Notes

From the CD Kishori Amonkar

Kishori Amonkar is unquestionably the most versatile and popular woman vocalist of the present generation. Kishoris is the kind of music that
casts its magic spell over her listeners as few others can. Kishori Amonkar also enjoys the singular distinction as the first woman pioneer of the
avant garde movement in Hindustani music. And that makes her a controversial exponent of the musical tradition of North India.

fulfillment of millions of her fans.
