According to Wikipedia, “Born in 1926, Lakshmi Shankar started her career in dancing. In 1939, when Uday Shankar brought his dance troupe to Madras, (recently renamed Chennai), she joined the Almora Centre to learn Uday Shankar’s dance style based on the Indian classics, and became a part of his troupe. She later married Uday Shankar’s brother, Rajendra (with nickname Raju).
During a period of illness, Lakshmi Shankar had to give up dancing, and already having had a background of Carnatic music, she undertook learning Hindustani classical music for many years under Ustad Abdul Rehman Khan. Later, she also trained with Ravi Shankar, the sitar maestro.
Lakshmi Shankar toured America with Ravi Shankar and George Harrison in 1974, and recorded I Am Missing You (1974) and Shankar Family & Friends (1974) with Ravi Shankar, and performed at Ravi Shankar’s Music Festival from India (1976). After Ravi Shankar’s heart attack, she conducted his touring band.[4]”
After my posting of Lata’s gem ‘Ghiri Ghatayen’ from from the Album ‘Varsha Ritu’, there was a request for more from that Album by Ms. Ava. As per my promise to her, I will be posting all the songs one by one except M Kapoor’s song from that Album. Today’s presentation is a melodious bandeesh in Raag Des, by Ms Lakshmi Shankar and chorus from “Varsha Ritu’, (A collector’s item LP i.e. Long Playing Record). Music is by HMV’s staff MD Shri Murli Manohar Swarup.
(Mr Sagar Nahar on YouTube of this video has visually presented the lyrics in ‘Hindi’ on screen, and I have provided below the lyrics in English script.)
