Padma Bhushan Sudha Raghunathan

Carnatic Classical
 

As a prominent vocalist in the carnatic musical tradition, Sudha ji's voice enthralls listeners from around the world. Among the first in her generation to receive many prestigious awards including the Padma Bhushan, Sangita Kalanidhi and Sangeeth Natak Academy, her mastery over vocal techniques and complicated styles makes her one of the most sought after artists.

 

Her authentic renditions of ‘krithis’ and refined elaborations of ‘raagas’, the élan with which she breezes through the ‘kalpana swaras’, her command over the octaves and her supremely confident stage presence combined with unstated humility has given her an enviable pre-eminence in the world of carnatic music.
