About Artist-------

Sawani Shende is a Hindustani Classical Artist born in a musically rich family. She was introduced to Indian Classical Music at a tender age of only six by her grandmother, Smt.Kusum Shende, a noted singer of the Kirana Gharana and an honoured artist of the Sangeet Natak Era. Sawani’s father, Dr.Sanjeev Shende, a disciple of Smt.Shobha Gurtu, has groomed her in semi classical genres like Thumri, Dadra, Kajri, etc. Quest for more and more knowledge in music brought Sawani to learn more music under the expert guidance of Dr. Smt.Veena Sahasrabuddhe, a noted classical vocalist from Gwalior Gharana. Sawani’s music is a beautiful soul searching combination of the Kirana and the Gwalior Gharana, where she mesmerizes audiences with enchanting melody and strength of both. Her confidence and mastery in Khayals, her crystal clear diction and overall sensitivity in presentation takes every performance to a very high aesthetic level.

About Raag ---------------------------

Raag "Nand", also known as Raag Anandi, Raag Anandi Kalyan or Raag Nand Kalyan, instantly creates an unparalleled atmosphere in the mind of the audience and take your soul amidst meadows, in front of the setting sun with a blushed crimson sky filled with the flames of the concorded notes produced by the raag. This raag awes the mind forthwith and without any difficulty concocts its own unique mood. It has shades resembling of several raags, Raag Bihag, Raag Hamir, Raag Kamod & Raag Gaud sarang, yet has a distinct character of its own.
Raag Nand is a fascinatingly elegant and exquisite artifact of paramount choral imagination, a preeminent amalgamation of melodic divination and artful imperatives.
It is an evening Raag.
