Veena
Sonkar

“Music is not entertainment. It is emotion, storytelling, and the shortest distance between two people.”

From the archive — the years when music was simply what she did, every day.

Where it began

Long before there was a studio, there was a tanpura, a canopy, and a room full of people who had turned up to listen.

Veena Sonkar grew up in Indian classical music — daily riyaaz, unhurried alaaps, ragas lived in rather than performed. That grounding is why Antraalaap is called what it is.

Today she writes, composes and sings bhajans, folk songs and original music, and works as an actor and producer. Her channel, Soveena, is where those recordings live. Antraalaap is the room she once needed — where an artist is trusted and a good voice is given something to sing.

Her music

Bhajans, folk, and songs of her own.

Soveena

Veena Sonkar’s own channel — Shiv, Krishna, Khatu Shyam and Mata bhajans, folk songs, spiritual melodies and original compositions.
