Kalapini Komkali is the daughter and disciple of Pandit. Kumar Gandharva and Vidushi Smt. Vasundhara Komkali. An awesome inheritance resides in her genes. The curious consequence of this circumstance is that it is not only an affirmation of what is called the Gwalior Gayaki, but also of the wholly reconstructed and transformed style that revolutionized and transformed style that revolutionized Hindustani classical music. The Gayaki of Kumar Gandharva is a difficult inheritance to claim.

Kalapini can be said to possess an Alto just a little husky but true as a blade. Her Akar is perhaps the closest yet to that of Kumar Gandharva, a magical mixture of the five vowels that make language ring true and unforgettable. She uses much the same technique her father used to do, that lets you hear the swara as part of the raga and the swara also as pure swara kindled separately and individually. No two people can ever do this the same way, but when it is achieved the listener notices its strange impact. The next thing is to listen to the Sahitya of the Bandishes with its gentle folk intonations, the whisper of the land of Malwa which Kumarji first brought to life.

Kalapini has performed widely across the country in many prestigious music festivals. After her post graduation in Library Science, Kalapini learnt music from her father and is now an active trustee of the Kumar Gandharva Sangeet Academy, which has been structured to present and promote his genius. At present she trains intensively with her mother. She received project Scholarship from ministry of Human resources in the field of Indian classical Music. She also Honored to receive Kumar Gandharva Award from prestigious pujari pratishthan at Pune. She also gave her voice in films called "Paheli" and "Devi-Ahilya".
