Lakshmi Shankar - Mirabai Meerabai Bhajan - Janama Marana

Lakshmi Shankar is a Hindustani classical vocalist of the Patiala Gharana, known for her performances of Khyal, Thumri, and Bhajans. Born in 1926, she initially started her career in Indian classical dance. In 1939, when Uday Shankar brought his dance troupe to Madras, she decided to join the Almora Centre to learn Uday Shankars original style of dance based on the Indian classics and became a part of his troupe. That is when her association to the Shankar family began. She married Uday Shankar's brother, Rajendra (Raju). After a period of illness during which she had to give up dancing, and already having had a background of Carnatic music, she moved to Hindustani classical music and trained rigorously for many years under Ustad Abdul Rehman Khan. Later, she also trained with Pt. Ravi Shankar, the Sitar maestro. She is one of the leading stalwarts in Hindustani vocal music in India today. Has proven her versatality and adaptability by composing music for Bharatanatyam at Los Angeles for the leading dance company - Shakti School of Bharatanatyam. Lakshmiji is a great great musician yet very modest and a wonderful person. From Wikipedia.

She is a well-accomplished and highly skilled musician with a very versatile and knowledgeable background in the Indian arts.
