Sudha Ragunathan

The channel of one of the brightest stars of Carnatic music in India, her distinctly stunning vocal style has ignited musical imagination and spirit across languages, frontiers and ideologies. Among the first in her generation to receive many prestigious awards including the Padma Bhushan and the Sangita Kalanidhi, her mastery over vocal techniques and complicated styles makes her one of the most sought after artists. Her authentic renditions of ‘kritis’ 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. Sudha has performed a range of concerts and festivals worldwide, and has released over 200 albums with leading recording companies. Sudha Ragunathan is the only Carnatic musician, second to Barat Ratna Dr. MS Subbulakshmi, to have sung at the United Nations.
