Sugandh Family Album for Cancer Research

The talented music artists Tina Sugandh (known to most as “Tabla Girl”) and her sister, Seema Sugandh, have recently launched their much anticipated album  dedicated to their equally talented mother,  Mrs. Geeta Sugandh, who lost her battle with Breast Cancer on December 3rd.   The album, a tribute to their mother, consists of 8 tracks each spotlighting the award winning vocals of one of the family members – Mrs. Geeta Sugandh, Mr. Kanhaiya Sugandh, and of course, Tina and Seema – who recorded this album when they were just young teenagers (and trust me, they sound good on this album, but sound even better now!).   Charity knows no end in the Sugandh family as 100% of the proceeds will go to Breast Cancer research.

The girls recall on their website that:  “Amazingly, mom remained smiley, positive, and radiant throughout her battle with cancer. She is the most genuine and inspirational woman we will ever know. She has inspired so many with her lessons of family togetherness, positivity, staying healthy and active, and unconditional love. Her heart was bigger than an ocean, her eyes sparkled, and her smile brightened up the world.”  Geeta left the world in the arms of her soul mate, Kanaiya Sugandh, who was with her till the very end.

The girls have faced the loss of their mother bravely, and instead, have turned to helping other Breast Cancer sufferers by making this album to raise money for this cause.  They have followed in their mother’s example and I’m sure she would be proud of them.  “Our radiant mother, that touched so many, lives on in all of us. Her valuable lessons will be treasured and we will strive to spread as much beauty, happiness, and positivity in the world as she did.”

It is really commendable how the Sugandh Family has faced this hardship and decided to help raise money for a much needed cause.  UA readers, I implore you to please help the Sugandh family raise the money!  It’s a win-win for you, as you will get to experience an amazing album and donate to charity at the same time!
