Over a year ago, Shyamali, whose father <b>Vasudeva Malakar migrated from Kolkota to be a pujari and bhajan singer for the Hare Krishnas in America, </b>spent three months in Orissa learning Kathak. She also learned Indian classical music.
"My singing has become better because of the training," she says, even though her vocal genre is very western.
Recalling her first real sojourn in India, she says, "I am still amazed at the warmth and hospitality I found in India. You make friends within a few minutes, and you are invited into people's homes often. People open up to you; they take you into their homes and their hearts as if you are a long separated family member. That was amazing. It was unlike anything I had ever seen in my life."
