Channulal Mishra is one of India's most gifted and versatile vocalists, with a rich and wide ranging repertoire. His sonorous voice transcends specific styles of singing, creating music in which the aesthetic and the spiritual merge to great effect. On stage he is a figure of composure, lightly strumming the soothing swarmandal, which resonates colourfully with the notes of his chosen raga.

Channulal Mishra is equally proficient in classical and light classical music such as dadra, thumri, chaiti, kajri and bhajan, as is demonstrated in this performance recorded live on 8th January 2003 at the Saptak Annual Music Festival held in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
