Khula Asmaan in association with Wide Wings Media organised “O Gaanewali” at the Lokmanya Rangmandir in Belagavi on Saturday. It was a tribute to forgotten artists of the late 1800s, the tawaifs, gaanewalis and naachnewalis.
Artists Avanti Patel and Rutuja Lad sang songs, while Vighnesh Kamat accompanied them on the tabla and Nusrat Apoorva on the harmonium.
They sang songs popularised by artists Gauhar Jaan, Janakibai, Raasoolan Bai, Begum Akhtar and Shobha Gurtu.
