Tributes

Timeless Voice, Eternal Tribute
Legends across generations reflect on the unmatched brilliance of Lata Mangeshkar Ji.

I don’t know what the girl Lata Mangeshkar has in her voice. She is indeed ‘Ustaadon ki ustad’

Bade Ghulam Ali Khan

Many tunes of her film-songs and non-film songs are based on classical music. So it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she deserves a major credit for making classical music popular among masses.

Pt. Bhimsen Joshi

Her three-three and a half minutes-long film-song gives me the same artistic value and joy as any classical musician’s three-three and a half hour-long concert.

Kumar Gandharva

I have a special respect for singers with intelligence and sensitivity and God has given her both these gifts in abundance.

Pt. Ravishankar

There will be no one like Lata in the world of film music. There will be no one like Lata in the world of classical music as well.

Ustad Allarkha Khan

What can I say about her music? It comes from heaven.

Ustad Vilayat Khan

Lata, the swar incarnate is as important, as necessary for me as the fresh air that I breathe

Pandit Jasraj

Lata’s voice is a unique favour by Mother Saraswati.

Amjad Ali Khan

The music which cascades through her voice is sincere, soulful and haunting.
