The Dasgupta Sisters - Ladies Special 2022

A new week, a new lady collab for you right here on Maed in India’s annual Ladies Special! On this episode, we’re featuring sister act The Dasgupta Sisters, made up of Paroma and Pragya Dasgupta. Their self-titled EP marries the genres of electronica, jazz and funk to four Chota Khayal bandishes. It’s also a tribute to their mother, a renowned Hindustani classical singer from Kolkata. They tell Mae about what it was like growing up surrounded by renowned musicians, making music with your sibling, and the struggles of women in playback singing in India.
