The voice: versatile, agile, profound with a plummy richness of sound. Tritha’s dusky tones and throbbing intensity, vibrating and moving emotional commitment, entrance her audience and leave the public spell bound. Listen: http://soundcloud.com/tritha_pro/tritha-rangamati-pagli-album
  The musician: born in Kolkata, Tritha started training in North Indian classical music at the age of five, and never stopped. She is currently a student of Santanu Bandyopadhyay from the Bishnupur gharana.

Equally at home with Indian Classical music as with Bjork and Janis Joplin, Abida Parveen or Aretha Franklin, Tritha has forged her own unique, inclusive sound and has already gained critical and popular acclaim for her songs, several of which were used by the Magnum Agency, France, for their movies on Women changing India last year.

A woman: Tritha is an ardent supporter of women’s rights and includes her ideas in her songs with “Lyrics that deal with women’s liberation, social oppression and sexual exploitation.” (Hindustan Times)

In June 2012, she was featured on a full page in Marie Claire India as one amongst the ten most interesting young Indian women, and also that same month, in Tehelka Magazine.

Tritha’s picture has been traveling all over the world in 2011 and 2012 with the exhibition Women Changing India, organized by the Magnum Photo Agency and BNP Paribas.

 A citizen of the world : Tritha has widely traveled and recently returned to India from a 3-month tour in Europe, during which she also recorded her third album with French record label Notreespace.
