Kesarbai Kerkar - Rarest of the Rare - Vol. VI - Cassette released in India in 1985



This is part of a series of cassettes of live recordings by Kesarbai Kerkar. As far as I know, this was the first time that longer recordings by the artist were made available. As is well known, Kesarbai Kerkar was very particular and strict in never allowing anyone to record her performances. So these must have been recorded secretly without her consent. It is an enormous gift to music lovers, that recordings like these were done and survived. Otherwise we would have only the published 78 rpm records.
This is the only orginal cassette of this series we have. But we have some other volumes on privately made CDs which we will post next.
