For this reason, an alternative explanation is needed to describe the popularity of the soprano female voice in Bollywood, and I would venture to say that this alternative explanation is rooted in musical origins. The voice of Asha, who was widely known for her experimentation with non-traditional genres such as the cabaret, is not a national emblem of purity in the same way as her elder sister’s. However, this explanation is less pertinent to Lata’s younger sister Asha Bhonsle. Lata Mangeshkar is the ultimate example of this phenomenon her voice, with its ethereal purity, has been considered the traditional female voice of India for decades.
The soprano register suggests innocence and purity, which enhanced the traditionally feminine perceptions of heroines advanced by film directors of the time. First, the high-pitched female voice is consistent with the image of the ideal Indian woman that was prevalent during the 1950s and 60s. Why are Bollywood songs for females from the Golden Era pitched at astronomically high scales? I don’t know for sure, but I definitely have a few ideas that could explain this trend. Two sisters who changed playback singing forever: Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle.
