Shopno Dekhbo Bole

This song is dedicated to my husband Ashish Thakkar and to the beautiful life we've created together. I love you, Ashish. 

About the recording:

"I met Devika in my 2nd year in Grad school in Buffalo,NY. She is till date the most dedicated and passionate vocalist I have ever had the honor to play with. We recorded and performed at various school occasions. The following recordings are of poor quality, done through a headset microphone alone, while Devika was singing and I was playing the keyboard. This was in those graduate school days when I could not afford much recoding equipment. But we made up for it by our never ending enthusiasm to record music." http://joyghosh.com/music/band/duets.html

Devika is a disciple of Pta. Tripti Mukherjee, Pt. Askaran Sharma, Pt. Vinayak Kunte, and a grand disciple of Sangeet Martand Pandit Jasraj. A gifted vocalist, known for her soulful renditions, Devika performs in concerts and collaborates with musicians on live and recorded projects. She specializes in singing Sanskrit Chants and is drawn to this genre because of the meaningful lyrics of Sanskrit verses and the peaceful vibrations created by chanting them. 

Originally from Mumbai, India, Devika now lives in New York, USA with her husband and two children. Devika has taught music to children and adults in the USA and in India. She continues to learn the sacred art of Indian classical music from various world-renowned artists and music educators at the Pandit Jasraj Institute for Music Research, Artistry, and Appreciation, the Mewati Gurukul, an international institution that provides instruction in north Indian classical vocal music.

Devika believes in the potential of the classical arts to spark self-discovery and create harmony within oneself, with everyone around, and in the world.
