straddles between two fields, music and academia. She is a sitarist trained in North Indian Classical music and graduated in 2013 with a PhD in Cultural Studies. Sharda's musical work comprises primarily fusion of the various genres of music in the Caribbean with North Indian classical music. Her position as a musical practitioner and performing artiste is one that provides her with intimate knowledge of the working of the musical landscape of Trinidad, where her father Mungal Patasar set the stage for musical collaborations with his pioneering work in fusion music that encapsulates the Trinidadian experience.
