Sonia, I've always known and loved the 'singer Sonia' and it was wonderful to get a glimpse of the 'person Sonia'. The next time i hear you singing, it will bring me greater pleasure 🙏🏻

Well conducted interview. It's such a revelation to know that we have such beautiful international voices in India, singing such an interesting genre of music. Wishing to hear more of Sonia's music and hoping we have more Fado singers in the future.
