E7: Pace in Khayal.

With guest: Shubhangi Sakhalkar. We look at the concept of pace in Hindustani Khayal. We discuss how pace is separate from speed and rather tied to the state of mind and discuss how khayal can be an exercise in storytelling. We interview Smt. Shubhangi Sakhalkar, a Hindustani Classical musician and guru. Shubhangi Ji is a Hindustani musician and guru in the Bay Area. She is a disciple of Dr. Prabha Atre and Smt. Padma Talwalkar. She is also the founder of the Intonation foundation, an organization founded in 2018 dedicated to promoting Hindustani Classical Music (https://intonationfoundation.org/). Furthermore, she organizes the Amir Khan Music Festival annually. In the past few years, she has organized and taught a masterclass series for advanced vocal studies that can be found on her YouTube page. Lastly, she has recently released an album, Serenity, that can be found on Apple Music and Spotify. More information can be found on her artist profile page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/sakhalkar.shubhangi/). Hosted by Shishir Rao, a DPhil student at the University of Oxford and a student of Hindustani Classical Music.
