Manjiri Asnare Kelkar ~ Kafi Tappa in Addha Taal 

Manjiri Asnare Kelkar is among the outstanding vocalists of the current generation. She has inherited the rich tradition of the Jaipur Atrauli Gharana from Pandit Kanetkar. Today Manjiri Asnare is among the prominent exponents of the Tappa genre, marked by its energetic Taan and uneven rhythmic accent. Tappa gayaki also inculcates ornamentations such as jamjama, gitakari, khatka, murki and harkat.
