About Shri Shyamal-Saumil Munshi & Aarti Munshi
——————————————————————-

The musical duo got introduced to the world of Gujarati poetry and literature at a very tender age. They extensively read, understood and wrote poems.

Their love for poetry, melody, and harmony took them to a stage where compositions appeared as natural progressions. Mastering the discipline of composing music came through their profound understanding of poetry.

Their experimentation and innovation with the melody, harmony, and percussion gave way to some truly blissful and enchanting experiences.

Today, every note of their compositions radiates the meaning of the words encompassed within, and mesmerizes the listeners with profound insights into the beauty of life.

Shyamal-Saumil have been carriers of this rich aspect of Gujarati language and culture. Through the medium of music they have been instrumental in spreading and consolidating Gujarati language throughout the world.

Respecting their deep commitment to their valuable contribution to the field of Gujarati music, the Gujarat government bestowed upon Shyamal-Saumil the very prestigious ‘Gujarat Gaurav Puraskar’.

The best thing about Shyamal-Saumil is that they have adopted the best and interpreted it their own unique way, thus giving birth to some of music’s finest compositions.

They have the distinction of having received pearls of wisdom from the legends themselves. They have comfortably established friendships with their contemporaries and have equally been enthusiastic in being inspirational to the new-comers.

Perhaps that is why they have been able to receive so much warmth from all quarters of society and carve out a position for themselves which is beyond competition.

Every composition of Shyamal-Saumil is lively for all generations to follow and enjoy. Shyamal-Saumil are the bridge, that, through ‘Swarsetu’, connect the glorious past and promising future of Gujarati music.
