The extremely difficult gayaki of the Atrauli Gharana has been studied by many in Maharashtra, but the honour of being the foremost vocalists in this tradition goes to Gaantapasvini Mogubai Kurdikar. This humble devotees of music crowned the musical edifice erected by previous generations and lent an estimable character to Goan musical tradition.
The anguish Mogubai experienced in her pursuit of music made her unique. Balancing the cares of tomorrow on one hand and her tanpura in the other, Mogubai battled on a Yogic scale. She acquired the learning, but that wasn't enough. She was ever unsatisfied -- suffering from a sense of incompleteness. But it is this sense of incompleteness that also bestows a rare talent -- a talent that constantly accompanies one like a shadow.
Mogubai's studious mind had achieved two things while she was with the 'Satarkar Stree Sangeet Mandali" -- a compact training in Natyasangeet from the late Chintubuwa Gurav and primary lessons in dance from the company's resident dancer Ramlal. Gradually, the parts Mogubai played became popular and she got roles like that of Subhadraa in Saubhadra and Kinkini in Punyaprabhav. Her name was enough to sell tickets.
