Sawani Shende Sathaye

Sawani is born in a musically rich family. She was introduced to Indian Classical Music at a tender age of six by her grandmother. Her father, Dr. Sanjeev Shende, a disciple of Smt. Shobha Gurtu, has groomed her in semi classical genres like Thumri, Dadra, Kajri, etc. Quest for more and more knowledge in music brought Sawani to learn more music under the expert guidance of Dr. Smt.Veena Sahasrabuddhe, a noted classical vocalist from Gwalior Gharana. Sawani made her first debut at the age of 10 to celebrate her grandmother’s 61st birthday.

Sawani’s music is a beautiful soul searching combination of the Kirana and the Gwalior Gharana, where she mesmerizes audiences with enchanting melody and strength of both. Her confidence and mastery in Khayals, her crystal clear diction and overall sensitivity in presentation takes every performance to a very high aesthetic level.\
