Lakshmibai Jadhav (1901-1979) - Private Double CD

Here a private double CD by Laxmibai Jadhav, containing a number of her 78 rpm records from the 1930s and two longer Ragas, probably from the archives of All India Radio.

The CDs were created, together with the covers and the booklet, by our friend KF. Many thanks to him for his generous sharing.

Raagam, the internet radio of All India Radio, broadcast over the last two or so years quite a number of recordings by the artist from their archives. A dear and very helpful friend created recently a YouTube channel containing all the recordings by great artists of the older generations from Raagam. Amongst them quite a number of excellent recordings by Laxmibai Jadhav. See:

Bade Ghulam Ali Khan: Raga Adana & Raga Chhayanat & Lakshmi Bai (Laxmibai) Jadhav: Raga Lalit Bahar - Heritage - Cassette released in India in 1999

Here another cassette from the Heritage Series with beautiful archival recordings by two great singers of the first half of 20th century. Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan needs no introduction as he is very famous and we already posted five LPs and cassettes by him. See here.

Laxmibai Jadhav (1901-1979) is much less known. She was a legendary singer of the Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana and a disciple of Ustad Haider Khan (brother of Atrauli-Jaipur founder Alladiya Khan). She was contemporaneous with Kesarbai Kerkar and Mogubai Kurdikar and next to these two the third outstanding female singer of the Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana.
