 Having
attained the stature of one of the leading female
vocalists of the country, Subhra Guha is regarded
not only as the finest lady singer but also as an
exponent of the Agra Gharana. Though belonging to
the Agra Gharana, which is synonymous with the
prowess and masculinity of Aftab-e-Mousiqui Ustad
Faiyaz Khan, what makes Guha's rendition style
uniquely different is her mature juxtaposition of
her feminine charm with masculine grandeur that's
inherent in the Gharana. Guha's voice effortlessly
soars from one octave to the next mesmerizing her
aficionados across the globe.
Coming from a music
loving family, Guha started showing signs of
exceptional talent at a tender age. She received
her earliest training from late Shri
Satish Bhowmick.
During her growing years, Guha took advanced
training from one of the learned Pandits of the
Agra Gharana, Pandit
Sunil Bose.
Over
the years, Guha has intelligently maintained the
balance between the two streams of khayal and
thumri keeping intact the academic excellence with
measured blend of aesthetics and musical
semantics. Open throated 'akar', her taans and
bol-bants are extraordinary features of her gayaki.
Her command over laya is outstanding. |
