About us

In January 2009 we traveled for the second time to India to finally fulfill the dream of our lives.
After this experience, all we are: our professions, our passions, our skills, our interests, all came together in a single path.
Güngur.

Natalia Salgado

Began studying Kuchipudi in 2001 with Ms. Ranga Vivekanandan in Argentina. In 2003 she met the renowned dancer Myrta Barvié and since then studied with her Bharata Natyam style.

In 2007, she travelled to India for the first time to further refine both styles with teachers Bharata Kalanjali School (Bharata Natyam style) and the dancer Amrita Lahiri (Kuchipudi style).

Returning from this first trip, she was invited, along with Silvia Rissi and Leonora Bonetto, to be part of the dance group of Myrta Barvié to perform in cultural centers and events organized by the Embassy of India.

Since 2005, along with Silvia Rissi, she forms part of Buddha Sounds, performing throughout Latin America.

In 2009 she returned to India to continue her studies of classical dances, this time incorporating the learning of Odissi style of North India. Guru Gangadhar Pradhan, Manoranjan Pradhan, Aruna Lingaraj Kumar Swain and Pradhan were her teachers in this style.

In this second trip and with her sister Patricia, clothing designer and dancer, Gungur was born, carrying out the desire of a whole way of life.

Natalia holds a Degree in Social Communication and Advertising from the University of Salvador.
Since 1998 she has been working at IBM Argentina, where she currently serves as communications team leader of the Global delivery center.

Patricia Salgado

Holds a degree in Clothing and Textiles from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Since 2001 she has been living in Barcelona where she has worked as a designer for several Spanish companies specializing in the women's fashion market.

She has managed collections both at the national and international level, overseeing areas such as DESIGN (complete collections), PURCHASING (raw materials), PRODUCTION (follow up at factory and production lines in Asia), IMAGE (collaborating and participating in photo catalogues) and SALES (presentation and sales of collections at conventions and trade fairs).

As part of her work, she periodically travels to Paris, London and Milan to identify trends and raw materials. She has also traveled repeatedly to China, India and Bangladesh where she has visited fairs and suppliers to manage their collections. These 10 years of experience and exposure to Asia have helped her know the full potential of each country, as well as how their cultures influence design.

In her three trips to India, Patricia has also studied classical dances, Bharata Natyam and Odissi, specializing in this latter style, under the teachings of Guru Gangadhar Pradhan, Manorajan Pradhan, Aruna Kumar Swain and Lingaraj Pradhan.

In Barcelona, Patricia has taken Bharata Natyam workshops with Mercè Esrich, studied two years of Kathak with Sharmini Tharmaratnam, and continues classes in Odissi with the French dancer Chloè Romero when Chloè visits Barcelona.

She has studied Flamenco Dance since 2007 with the bailaora Joy de la Cruz, and is a member of the group Zalama, imparting benefit performances for Foundations and NGOs in Barcelona.
