In this episode we will focus on two recent projects by Kaushiki Chakrabarty:
-Recordings of Sakhi, a female music group started by Kaushiki Chakrabarty in 2015. Besides Chakrabarty’s vocals, Sakhi’s music also has dancing and and a lot of rhythm through the use of tabla, pakhawaj and cajon. The violin and bansuri flute enrich the music melodically. By traditional music and dance performed by women, Sakhi wants to emphasize the importance of women in the history of classic Indian music.
