Hi,I am Kavita Neumannova
Kavita comes from the Czech Republic and has always loved music. She started to learn khol drum in 2008 when she accompanied Jyoshna on her research trip to Rarh and continues till today. Her teacher is Jagaran Mahato, kiirtan expert from Rarh the same teacher who Jyoshna was working with since 2006. Together they learnt the Rarhi kiirtan in the traditional way which is very strenuous i.e. by listening and copying without interruptions or stopping for long periods each day.

Qualifications & Skills
“I really enjoyed the Kiirtan Academy, and connecting with other kiirtaniyas from around the world… I really feel like I gained confidence.. I had a big shift on the second last day of the Course, I just woke up and decided that it was time to learn more kiirtans and to sing my own…”
