I was watching a Japanese movie the other day and one of the characters was obsessed with Susanna Mildonian, was quite an interesting experience to learn about one of your own from a Japanese film.

So here is some information about Ms. Mildonian. Maybe others will know more about her, would like to learn.

Hi Anoushik,

 

I know it's more of an "obscure" field of music...but still was interesting to learn about her.
