KARNATIC CLASSICAL VOCAL / BOMBAY S. JAYASHRI
Sangeetha live cassettes, 1993, 6 ECDB 512
Jayashri Ramnath (Bombay is a nickname) was born in Calcutta in 1964 but her parents gave her some training in Carnatic music before she studied with Lalgudi Jayaraman and others. She also plays the veena and is the fourth generation of singers in her family. She was also trained in Hindustani classical music and got a diploma in Indian music at Delhi. She works with the cinema industry as a playback singer and composes as well for traditional dancing. A great artistic activity.
Knowing that she performed on stage first in 1982, this tape is maybe one her first commercial recordings (the discography I found goes back to 2000). She is accompanied by Vittal Ramamurthy on violin, Neyveli R. Narayanan on mridangam and A.S. Shankar on ghatam. She sings kriti-s by Thyagaraja mostly.
