Shobha Gurtu, known as the queen of thumris, is one of the foremost contributors to semi-classical music. In this collection, the legendary vocalist’s skill and innovation with dadras, chaitis, savanis, horis and mahias spread across various ragas is on full display. Chaitar Chunari Rangaa by Shobha Gurtu is one of the classics from the Songs of the Seasons series. The collection represents Indian music’s unique association with natural elements and human moods associated with changes in weather. It combines some of the little known folk traditions in northern Indian with the elements of classical music. Shobha Gurtu’s musical education began early and she trained under Ustad Bhurji Khan of the the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana in Kolhapur. She came into her own under the tutelage of Ustad Ghamman Khan, going on to specialise in semi classical forms such as thumri, dadra, Kajri, Hori etc. She added pure classical passages into her singing, thus creating a new form, and reviving the magic of forms like thumri.
