Sahana Banerjee | Interview
12m
Recorded by Darbar in 2015, on location in India.
Sahana talks about her Rampur Senia gharana and her journey from her mother Chhabi Banerjee, a famous singer, and her father Pandit Santosh Banerjee, a sitar and surbahar master, trained her in their styles while also providing her with the freedom to form her own. Sahana seeks to expand Hindustani music’s audience, organising the Swarsudha baithak series of house concerts (“my principal aim is to propagate Indian classical music among musically common people who are way from classical music”).
