O Gaanewali is a unique musical celebration of the women who defined, popularised, and immortalised genres like Thumri, Dadra, Ghazal, Chaiti, Hori, and more. These women, known as gaanewalis, carried an unparalleled legacy of artistry and emotion, shaping Hindustani semi classical music history. The show revisits their timeless contributions, blending history, performance, and storytelling into one wholesome experience. Curated and written by Avanti Patel, and directed by Mallika Singh and Meghana AT, the show is a heartfelt ode to legendary performers such as Gauhar Jaan, Begum Akhtar, Iqbal Bano, Shobha Gurtu and several women artists after them.
