Shelia Dar has one recording maybe (?), she studied with PPN among other teachers and wrote a book about her life as a diplomat’s wife/government worker and Hindustani Classical singer. Laxshmi Shankar also comes to mind. Hirabai Barodekar was also a singer in the Kirana Ghirana and has an amazing recording on All India Radio somewhere that I have a copy of.

as much as I appreciate la monte young’s work, his hindustani classical singing is incredibly lacking for someone who has been learning for so long. his intonation and pronunciation are quite weak, in my opinion.
there are plenty of female vocalists out there, here are some that I hold in high regard:
and please, I urge anyone interested to listen to more proficient artists than la monte:
amir khan
bade ghulam ali khan
bhimsen joshi
instrumental:
vasant rai
bahadur khan
for those of you interested in very long form, slow moving ‘drone’ music, you will most likely find dhrupad (a form of ancient indian classical signing) to your liking. anything by the dagar brothers, gundecha brothers and uday bhawalkar is good.
One of my favorite pieces of music. When Marian comes in at about the 25 min mark I simply melt. So subtle and yet very very powerful for me.
Does anyone know of any ragas sung wholly or partially by women?
