Master violinist Kala Ramnath hails from a musical family that has produced some of the greatest Indian violinists, including T. N. Krishnan, and N. Rajam. While her musical roots are in the south, she chose to follow the North Indian tradition and has become the leading violinist of that genre. A pre-eminent disciple of the legendary vocalist Pandit Jasraj, under his mentorship she revolutionized violin technique and produced a distinctive and evocative new sound; today her violin is called “the Singing Violin.” Her extensive credits include working with Zakir Hussain, Edgar Meyer, Bela Fleck, Giovanni Hidalgo, and the London Philharmonic.
Abhijit Banerjee is one of India’s leading tabla players. He has crafted a unique style and creative approach which has brought him accolades and awards throughout the world. He is one of the main disciples of the late Pt. Gyan Prakash Ghosh. He has accompanied most India’s major artists and has also made his mark in world music through collaborations with artists such as Ry Cooder, Larry Coryell and Kenny Endo and has performed in major arts centers and festivals throughout the world. |
