thank's Mankuthimma. Why not... I am always curious to experience an artist from different sides. Maybe this recording presents Gangubai before she fell sick and her voice changed to the more androgyne "male tempre" as we know her mostly... :-)

OK, thank's Google I found now what is the track list here. It seems a good day having luck :grin: : http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sq ... fpxqu5ldae

1 Raga Shuddha Kalyan: Mandara Bajo Re Aura Ghanera (25:08)
2 Raga Shuddha Kalyan: Rasa Bhini Bhini Tero (11:07)
3 Raga Abhogi: Carana Dharo Ayo Re (18:01)
4 Raga Abhogi: Banara Rangile (4:43)
5 Raga Basanta: Piua Sanga Khelo Ri (10:57)

It would be nice if somebody can complete the datas with the rhythms, tempo and accompanying artists...

I suppose that I found last track no. 5. or maybe only an extract (?) on the web. Had to convert it from real player format into mp3. Little bit tricky. Feel free to check it out here: http://www.mediafire.com/?2dced14zfxot47a

Rec.: I am not Indian, so not at all confidenced with the lyrics. Is this "Piua Sanga Khelo Ri" what I have ? - Or an extract from one of the other longer tracks ? - If I look at the playtime, it should be spring Raga Basanta :-) (Less it might be in Teental.)

And as it seems that Wergo re-published the original release of 1991 (SM-1501) again in 1999 (SM-1501-2). From my side, it can be one of them if somebody has it... :-) I am not a fetishist :o to demand only the original recording. ;)

If you like to know about some nice CD releases, send me a personal PM. I can send you a PDF with a track list I have in my music database. Its all excellent music.

Tks in advance. / TC - SM2010

Yes .Before her voice changed to the more androgyne "male tempre".
But one can see that her imagination was already more androgyne and "male tempre".
This is a rare piece with some haunting mmoents.Wish someone writes a biography that does justice to her personality.
