Musical artist
Shashwati Mandal (b. 1971) is a Hindustani classical music vocalist .[1] She is an exponent of the Gwalior gharana .
Early life and training
[ edit ]
Shashwati was born in Gwalior in a family of musicians. Her maternal grandfather Pt. Balabhau Umdekar 'Kundalguru' was a darbar-gayak (court musician) at the royal court of Gwalior, and a singer of the Gwalior gharana .[2] Shashwati started her early classical training under the guidance of her mother, Smt. Kamal Mandal, at a very young age. From 1987-1992, she received a Department of Culture (Govt of India) scholarship to study under the veteran Gwalior gharana singer Pt. Balasaheb Poonchhwale .[3] Balasaheb instilled into her the finer nuances of Gwalior gayaki, and also trained her into the art of Tappa singing, the vibrant semi-classical genre. She continued her training with her gurus, Balasaheb Poonchhwale and Kamal Mandal until their deaths in 2005[4] and 2006, respectively.
She also studied briefly under Purnima Chaudhuri for Thumri , Gundecha Brothers for Dhrupad , and Sarbat Hussain for Ghazal [1] singing. In 2009-2010, she received Sanskriti Foundation's Mani Mann Fellowship[3] to study under Madhup Mudgal of Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, New Delhi . In addition, she is heavily influenced by the gayaki of Kumar Gandharva , and the repertoire of Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana .
Shashwati has integrated these eclectic musical leanings into her gayaki (musical style). She has received praise for her full-throated resonant voice, and clarity of taans and murkis.[1] [5] She is widely regarded as one of the foremost exponents of Tappa singing.[6] [7] [8] [9]
She currently resides in New Delhi .
