Never heard of Lakshmi Shankar before but what a voice! Anyone know of other album of hers?

Really wonderful, yes. I have a couple of CDs, Hindustani classical, (Navras, London, I think) but one has gone unplayable

Wikipedia:

Lakshmi Shankar (born Lakshmi Sastri, 16 June 1926 30 December 2013) was a noted Hindustani classical vocalist of the Patiala Gharana. She was known for her performances of khyal, thumri, and bhajans.[1][2][3] She was the sister-in-law of sitar player Ravi Shankar and the mother-in-law of violinist L. Subramaniam (her daughter Viji (Vijayashree Shankar) Subramaniam being his first wife).

Thanks. I am looking at Lakshmi Shankar: Evening Concert and the other album below that. Sadly, I only see one track of hers. Not sure if the $20worth spending.

The CDs that I have of hers would have been purchased in London. See Navras Records for details of a tribute event if you happen to be in London in October. I couldn't see her CDs though.

Been listening to her and this album since I was a kid...

If you listen to vinyls there are
1) A musical bouquet Laxmi Shankar
2) Laxmi Shankar - Self Titled
3) Nirmala Devi with Laxmi Shankar
4) Laxmi Shankar - Khayal, Thumris and Bhajans
there may be many more but I have listened to all of the above vinyls. The one I liked the most is fourth one. It has Laxmi Shankar with L. Subramaniam and Zakir Husain. Absolutely Fantastic !
Regards.

Nirmala Devi is a fine classical singer and mother of filmstar Govinda. Two people at extreme ends of a creative pursuit.

Any person near vicinity of that shirt will feel extremely uncomfortable :lol:

I feel that the Z5 are now "getting their voice" and that I have the positioning etyadi worked out to liking

So I went and brought CSNY Greatest Hits - mostly for Cathedral. I had that on cassette and had not heard it for years (since I threw my tapes out!)

Sounds rather good and dare i say seems like paisa wasool for hours on hfv/ the net, train trip to chennai, the rockwool ka scratch ityadi

Till the next idea ubharofies that is ...

TBH : the thing I heard the most the last few hours of listening was the LEDR track "cockroaches" - as my son puts it. I am pleased to report that they climb up walls and arc in rainbows quite satisfactorily now
