“

Asia’s highly acclaimed only all female percussion based, Vocal-Instrumental combination of Hindustani-Carnatic of the best known women musicians of India. Genre-World Music/Feminist Music/Fusion. (4 Tracks- Dialogue, Celebration, Raga Tala Yatra & Tani)

Midday Newspaper, Jan 2001: “The brain child of percussionist Anuradha’s Pal, Stree Shakti is all woman percussion based ensemble that blends traditional Hindustani and Carnatic music to create a unique brand of fusion… Raga Tala Yatra is a truly marvellous composition, in the way that the vocals move from the morning to night ragas along with vibrant changes in the percussion structures, both in Hindustani and Carnatic styles. For those interested in music that blends the traditional and the innovative, this highly recommended. Clearly, Anuradha Pal and her female pals have a winner.”

“Anuradha Pal has taken a bold initiative in garnering the talents of varied musicians creating a project of percussion instruments from women to the fore. Voice and instruments spell out a haunting universe of an all feminine bravado that presents Indian music in appealing and joyous strains.”
