Explanation

Lata Mangeshkar (1929–2022), the legendary "Nightingale of India," performed at London's Royal Albert Hall in 1974. This performance was her debut on the international stage, as it was her first-ever concert outside India (Statement 2 is correct). Regarding Statement 1, while some historical records (including the Hall's archives) note that sitarist Pandit Ravi Shankar performed there in 1969, most major Indian news outlets (such as The Hindu and India Today) and official tributes published after her death consistently cited her as the first Indian artist to perform live at the venue. This question appeared in the UPPSC Prelims 2022, and the official answer key recognized Both 1 and 2 as correct. The concert was introduced by actor Dilip Kumar and remains a landmark event in the history of Indian music.
