SPEAKER_04: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Womanica.This month, we're talking about women of sound.These women dominated the airwaves, innovating, documenting, and creating the audio landscape we live in today. In the early 20th century, when musicians recorded their music, they would have to announce their name at the end of a song so that the technicians labeling their record wouldn't make a mistake.One musician had an announcement that was unmistakable, a high, playful voice coming through the speakers telling whoever was listening.
SPEAKER_01: My name is Gohar Jhaan.
SPEAKER_04: Gohar Jhaan was born Eileen Angelina Yoward in 1873 in India. There's some debate about her parents' origin.One story paints them as Armenian and Jewish, another, British and Christian.But we do know that when Aileen was still a child, her parents divorced, and her mother remarried a Muslim man, converted to Islam, and renamed her daughter Gohar.Gohar and her mom eventually moved to Benares, the religious capital of India and a hub for creatives in the region. Gohar's mother honed her dancing and singing skills and soon became a professional entertainer.Gohar followed in her mother's footsteps.She started training as a courtesan, a prestigious role that often involved performing for royalty. Gohar learned several forms of dance and music, from both her mother and from leading entertainers of the day.She started performing in front of royalty when she was just a teenager.
Gohar sang Hindustani classical music.She sang in multiple languages — Hindustani, Bengali, Tamil, Arabic, French, and English.Often she paired her songs with dance, moving her hands and feet in rhythm with the rise and fall of her voice. News spread quickly of her talent, and soon Gohar became a popular local performer.But her rise to superstardom came in 1902, when a recording company asked Gohar John to come into their studio.They paid her 3,000 rupees, equivalent at the time to more than $12,000.Gohar arrived with an entourage of musicians and onlookers.Her neck and wrists sparkled with jewelry and ornaments. Her musicians settled in and tuned their instruments, and then the performance began.In the studio, a big recording horn had been placed on the wall.
Gohar placed her head practically inside the horn and started to sing.Her voice vibrated a needle at the end of the horn, which pressed grooves into a rotating wax disc. ¶¶ Those grooves immortalized Gohar's voice and gave her the ability to be played in homes across the world.The recording process was far from seamless.For the needle to properly capture Gohar's voice, she had to practically scream into the horn.And she couldn't move while she sang.Sometimes, someone would have to literally hold Gohar's head in place to stop her from moving around.But Gohar still found a way to add her signature flair. After Gohar finished singing, she would always shout, into the horn, to make sure the German technicians tasked with labeling the records got it right.Gohar's records were an immediate hit, and her sign-off became iconic.
At a time when many other Indian classical musicians were refusing to record themselves, Gohar pioneered the three-minute song.It was the perfect length for a record that could be played over and over again. In under 20 years, Gohar recorded more than 600 songs.She became known all over the world for her signature singing style.In Calcutta, where she lived, it was easy to see her coming.She would ride everywhere in an elaborate carriage drawn by four horses.Towards the end of her life, Gohar became the palace musician for the Maharaja of Mysore.18 months later, in 1930, she passed away. All month we're talking about women of sound.For more information, find us on Facebook and Instagram at Womanica Podcast.

SPEAKER_09: Hey, it's Alec Baldwin.This past season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I spoke with more actors, musicians, policymakers, and so many other fascinating people, like jazz bassist Christian McBride.
SPEAKER_08: Jazz is based on improvisation, but there's very much a form to it.You have a conversation based on that melody and those chord changes.So it's kind of like giving someone a topic and say, okay, talk about this.
