*A Syed Wajid's Presentation
~"Both dance and music figured in Shobha Gurtu`s family background. She was born Bhanumati Shirodkar in Belgaum (now in Karnataka State) on February 8, 1925 and was initially trained by her mother, Menakabai Shirodkar, a noted dancer schooled in the Atrauli Jaipur `gayaki` of Ustad Alladiya Khan. On her marriage to Vishwanath Gurtu, she took the name Shobha Gurtu.
Shobha continued her musical education with ustads of the eminence of Nathan Khan in classical singing and Ghamman Khan in light classical and popular music.
Her father in law, Pandit Narayan Nath Gurtu, the erudite scholar and musician, also influenced her style. She was particularly influenced by singer Begum Akhtar and Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan."
