In a domain often characterized as elitist, esoteric, and not easily accessible to the masses, this brilliant sister duo of Ranjini and Gayatri has found a way over the years to satisfy and stimulate the cognoscenti and at the same time delight and thrill the lay audience. To achieve the magnetic status of a rock star and be viable as serious and profound practitioners of the art form is not easy in the field of Carnatic music; but these sisters have done just that with great distinction and felicity.

Perfection of sruti (pitching), powerful voice control, rich imagination and impeccable aesthetics which reflect the timeless values of classicism – these are some of the qualities that describe the music of Ranjini and Gayatri. Above all this, it is the sisters’ capacity to deeply experience and enjoy what they sing that takes their music to a different plane. Their two voices blend and contrast to strike a fine balance between vibrancy and contemplation, intellect and emotion, tradition and innovation.
