Learn more about the music:

Manjusha Kulkarni-Patil was born into the Maharashtra village of Sangli, famous for producing superb musicians. She learned to sing under Chintubua Mhaiskar, DV Kanebua, Narendra Kanekar, and Vikas Kashalkar, and continues to study with esteemed scholar-singer Ulhas Kashalkar. Today she sings khayal in the Agra and Gwalior gharana styles, and also expertly performs thumri, dadra, abhang, and natya sangeet (‘dramatic music’) - the musical theatre of the Maharashtra region. She draws great inspiration from the natural world, seeking to mimic the sounds of wind with her voice and intimately feeling the connection between each raga and its prahar (prescribed time of day).
