Swaramala Your go-to place for fulfilling your musical dreams! The story of how SWARAMALA started

A girl of just 6 years whose only passion was music.

Birth name being Ashalata benegal was a real coincidence that is what her parents always said because from the age of 6 she adored music, especially of asha and lata. she sang every song that she had heard on the transistor.The haunting melodies of Asha and Lata were her life. She and her brother ajit benegal formed an orchestra in the 60's at a very young age. Although both being untrained in mus

ic of any sort, they were great performers and gave wonderful programs on every street of Belgaum during ganeshotsava, schools, colleges later. Their first big banner was published in Tarun bharat on 7th may 1969 of the program as 'Ajit benegal and party' which was being held in the 'School of culture Belgaum', where every song was 'once more', especially 'Aaja sanam and yeh raat bheegi bheegi, Dil Bil Pyar Vyar, Suno Sajna Papihe Ne'.And the program which was to be ended at 9 pm went on till 11 30 pm. But those days,there was no platform to make name and fame other then live performances which brought limitations.At the same time, the furore of live orchestras was slowly picking up, but asha and ajit along with a few others in their group always maintained their name. For them their gods were Laxmikant-pyarelal and both of them were experts in every single song of theirs along with the entire background music. Ajit was a master at that. Later Asha got married, but they both still continued their music performances. After sometime due to unavoidable circumstances, he too shifted to Mumbai and both of them used to regularly discuss about how to take their art further to make global name,fame and also some money for those who stood by them in the late 60s and 70s.Later came the Era of music shows for artists who could showcase their talent on television. Something like this was in their mind, but sometimes man proposes and god disposes. Ajit got a terrible disorder of kidneys which was incurable and kept deteriorating his health thus music had to be pushed aside as health was the priority. And in 2008 after his death asha took a bold step further to create a new platform for the people who were 40+ in age. So an year ago, she returned to her good old place, belgaum, where they had sown their seeds of live orchestra. After the spade work of nearly a year and meeting all the old artists, she now has started a club called SWARAMALA, in which she has found music lovers and artists who had big dreams, who are 40+ age. Swaramala is formed for all the music lovers like; singers, instrumentalists, music composers, lyricists, mimicry artists and more so music listeners too. Swaramala calls this opportunity as 'second innings' for one and all who dreamt that one day they will make it big in music. Ashalata's dream is to make this company globally renowned and take Swaramala places. Swaramala's main aim is to provide all the artists with musical instruments if need be and any other support needed to enhance their skills to achieve success in music and boost their morale. And encourage them to give public performances often. People from various cities like belgaum, mumbai, pune, bangalore, chikkodi, mangalore have already started joining. Ashalata belives music is....PRAYER with which you reach god
MEDICINE with which you get cured
THERAPY which keeps you healthy IN MIND AND BODY
A UNIVERSAL language to bring all beings together
LOVE,LIVE and Let live

If one has understood MUSIC, he has understood what life is all about. Music can do wonders. And their first performance after a gap of 3 decades was on 26th september which happens to be Asha benegal sirur's birthday as well. It was at belgaum, hosmani chawl. They performed in front of GANESHA which was a blessing in disguise after 40 years as asha benegal and her brother ajit benegal had begun their journey of music from hosmani chawl when they were kids. This was just the beginning. The next program was on 2nd oct 2012 at belgaum, lokmanya rang mandir. And this was a big one indeed, where many artists got an opportunity through Swaramala to come on stage and showcase their talents. The 3rd one is coming shortly at this month end...and later another one in 3rd week of december. The journey has begun and there is no looking back for swaramala. All artists and music lovers can join Swaramala. For more information kindly email us on [email protected] or leave a message on our swaramala page.
