Hi, i love her voice. it is so beautiful. do you know have any contact information on the singer and/or the cd?

[anglinthemtns]

Sorry, I do not know and there is nothing listed on CD. The recording was made in 1986 in Japan. You might check with the Odissi dancer Sharon Lowen to see if she knows of her (resides in India, I think) or check with Guru KM dance school directly. :)

@L2santhanam This is from the Japan Victor company CD. And yes, this is vasant pallavi, though the cd also has mohana. This was Guruji's tour to Japan, organised by one of his students who was in Tokyo then, her name was Kumkum Lal. I don't think Manjul Mathur sang for Odissi before or after this tour - she was Kumkum Lal's cousin and was trained in Hindustani music. She lives in Delhi these days :)

this is basant pallavi, set in ek taali not tripata

[anglinthemtns]

The CD was made in Japan and said otherwise- I was following the CD jacket because I am personally unable to distinguish ragas. Thank you. I will correct this but leave what the CD says as well. There is a Vasant raga in the second item on CD but it says it is in chaturasra. Whoever made the CD cover must have rushed through it. If I post any other songs off this CD I will not list the ragas.

This is not  Mohana raga.

This is Basant raga.
