Kishori Amonkar – Gaan Saraswati (Saraswati of Singing – Saraswati of course being the Hindu Goddess of knowledge, music and the arts) and one off the finest exponents of Indian classical music, alive.
Some consider her voice the voice of divinity. I am transported into bubbles of ecstasy hearing it.
A small sample for your enjoyment
And yes, she did sing for a Hindi film. Open the link to watch ‘Geet Gaya Pattharon Ne’
