The New Generation Vocalist
There was a time when singers used to be good singers, but without any exposure to the wider world around them. Female vocalists were rare to find. Fortunately, for Indian Classical Music, that condition has changed. Today we come across a smarter generation of artistes; modern in appearance, broader in outlook, dedicated to art, culturally awake, socially aware and so on! One such female vocalist is Kasturi Paigude.

Kasturi is a disciple of the renowned vocalist Mrs. Arati Ankalikar-Tikekar. Under her watchful eyes and systematic training, Kasturi has matured into a confident singer with a well-seasoned melodious voice, aesthetic renditions of different Raag structures, a good command of different musical embellishments like gamaks, taans, meends, etc. Along with Khayals, Kasturi is at ease with light musical genres like Dadras, Bhajans etc. as well. She has featured in a number of stage programmes and recordings in and around Pune and her performances have been appreciated on many music platforms.

Kasturi has completed her M.A. (Music) with first class from the Centre for Performing Arts, University of Pune. She also holds a ‘Visharad’ degree in music with distinction, awarded by the Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya and a B.A. in English Literature, from the University of Pune.

She was the recipient of merit scholarships for her higher studies, from reputed organizations like Lila Poonawalla Foundation, Bhogate Trust, Maharashtra Executor Society’s Bank of Maharashtra Scholarship.

She has recorded her voice for album 'Mi Premika'( an album of 8 marathi love songs), produced by Akaanksha creations.The songs are written and composed by Abhijit Kumbhar.
