In this video, Smt. Sukanya Ramgopal, the main artist plays Ghatatharangini, which she invented and she says she wants to
prove that women artistes are no less than men.
Here is more news:
‘Ghata Tarangini’ is a new concept that Bengaluru-based Sukanya Ramgopal brought into Carnatic field. Ghatam too produces
musical sounds as these earthen pots are hollow to help creating a sustained musical note. Understanding the science behind it,
Sukanya made them her ‘singing pots’ and is giving concerts all over the country. Even her accompanists are women.
Asked how and why she got down to this type of presentation that too with all women team, Sukanaya says she wants to prove
that women artistes are no less than men. “You know the general tendency of male artistes is not to have a female accompanist.
This attitude spread so wild that even female vocalists too are preferring male percussion support, despite knowing we are no
less than them. I felt belittled and thought we should find potent place in the system. I know I’m as good as any male artiste,” she
says. Sukanya literally fashioned a revolution by bringing this ghatam on to main platform, having female support on other
instruments like violin, veena, mridangam and morsing.
