This exposure to a variety of languages like Marathi, Gujarati, and Kannada, gave Amirbai the repertoire that would eventually help her produce timeless songs.
Amirbai’s family was a traditional Muslim family of singers.
She and her sister, Goharbai, both worked in theatre companies from a young age and gained popularity locally. Her cultural heritage is of note because, to date, Amirbai’s fans do not realise that Amirbai was not Gujarati.
Further, her sister Goharbai’s supposed seduction of Bal Gandharva, a prominent figure in Marathi theatre, was the subject of much chagrin for many of his devout followers at the time.
Bijapur was known for its lively theatrical environment and the most famous artist was Bal Gandharva.
