O Gaanewali, Unmuted: Singing History Back to Life

“What does it mean to reclaim what was never truly lost — only silenced?” In this special episode, vocalist and composer Avanti Patel joins School of Purpose to share the story behind O Gaanewali — a powerful musical project that revives the voices of India’s courtesans and reclaims their space in our cultural memory. But this isn’t just about music. It’s about emotional inheritance. About listening to what history tried to hush. And finding presence — not as performance, but as truth. Avanti opens up about: * The lineage of erased women and the stories held in their songs * The rigor of classical training and the vulnerability of indie creation * How sensuality, memory, and discipline shape her voice * The tension of reaching wide without losing depth Whether you're an artist, a listener, or someone navigating your own creative inheritance — this episode will stay with you. 🎧 Listen.
