Her voice will resonate forever

‘SOLLY PILLAY
-
THE Hindu cultural tapestry in South Africa suffered a tragic blow when it lost one of its premier artists, a lady who from her teens enchanted thousands through the medium of radio and television — Umita Kalyan.
On that fateful day of her passing, she appeared normal and engaging in communication with all those around her. And within a few hours that evening, all that was about to change to the tragedy that we all are experiencing today.
There are no words, there are no sentiments, there are no accolades of her accomplishments. No flattering eulogy that could be enough to provide a pacifying balm to all of us who had the distinct honour and pleasure of crossing paths with Kalyan.
We all feel the gaping hole and the painful extraction from our midst of one who was arguably the most versatile Hindu female singer in the country — singing in all main Indian languages. In her inimitable style and mesmerising voice, she was eloquent and adept in any language.
