Biography
Manjiri Asanare- Kelkar was born in 1971, into a family of musicians in Sangli, Maharashtra. Her father Anand Asanare was a Tabla player. She began studying vocal music at the age of six, first under M.T. Mhaiskar and Madhusudan Kanetkar, and later under Padma Talwalkar and the late Kishori Amonkar. Her first music teacher, Mhaiskar, taught her the basic fundamentals of the Khyal. Her later guru Kanetkar initially refused to accept her as his disciple, but after hearing Manjiri sing at the age of 18, he agreed to teach her on a trial basis for six months. This guru-shishya style of study continued and she trained under him for almost 20 years.
She graduated with a degree in English literature and later a scholarship in classical music from the university.
