Dr. Kamala Shankar was born in 1966 in Tanjore district of Tamilnadu , Kamala's musical career started with the training in vocal music, initiated by her mother at the age of six and blossomed to be a true artist under the valuable guidance from Pandit Channoolal Mishra, the renowned artist of Varanasi and Sitar maestro Pandit Bimalendu Mukherjee of Imdadkhani Gharana . Kamala has developed the guitar as a singing instrument and used the celebrated ''gayaki ang'' of Imdadkhani Gharana to present her repertoire of Hindustani classical music. Besides having the degree of B. science in Zoology and B. music in vocal, Kamala has got her doctorate (D. Music) in guitar from the Faculty of Performing Arts, Banaras Hindu University . Dr. Kamala Shankar is known for her sweet and melodious rendition with the superb control of the instrument to present her versatility in the field. ::"The most pleasant surprise was the seasoned and confident guitar recital presented by young Kamala Shankar - though born in Tanjore (Tamil Nadu), but settled in Varanasi. Because of the extensive training in vocal music she is able to blend gayaki and tantrakari ang into her guitar art. Kamala's detailed, systematic and tonally rich exposition of 'gats' in 'Hansdhwani' (in roopak and trital) also revealed other aspects of her musical moulding. She concluded her highly appreciated guitar recital with a well blended dhun. Kamala has all the potential for emerging as a worldstar Guitar Artist in the near future." :::::::::::::::::::::::-THE HINDU, September, 20, 1991 See also
