“Rujul sang in an extremely melodious voice and her nimble, clear, superfast taans cut through the entire auditorium with effortless ease. Starting off with unhurried aalap, she went on to create a magical atmosphere with her imaginative musical patterns reminiscent of some great Agra gharana recordings. Her perfect progression into the raga; coupled with an extremely mature musical outlook were highlights of this terrific performance. She concluded her mesmerizing recital with a Kirana gharana tarana in Raag Chandrakauns and with that proved that music indeed has no boundaries!”, wrote this music critic in his review after Rujul’s hour long rendition of Raag Chandrakauns in India in January 2010.
Journey
Rujul’s journey in music began when, as a child she used to hear her father play the Sitar and miraculously hum the notes to the utter disbelief and happiness of her parents. Seeing her quick grasping power and her ability to express a phrase perfectly and immediately, her first guru had predicted that she would one day become an established artist of Indian classical music.
