Prabha Atre

Prabha Atre (born 13 September 1932) is an Indian classical vocalist, and eminent artist of the Kirana gharana. Prabha was born to Abasaheb and Indirabai Atre in Pune, India. As children, Prabha and her sister, Usha, were interested in music, but neither of them planned to pursue music as a career. When Prabha was eight, Indirabai was not keeping good health, and at a friend's suggestion that classical music lessons would help her feel better, she took a few lessons. Listening to those lessons inspired Prabha to learn classical music.
