DEBAPRIYA & SAMANWAYA with TANMOY BOSE 
Music of North India: Vocal/Sitar Jugalbandi (duet)

---

This jugalbandi with virtuosos Debapriya Adhikary and Samanwaya Sarkar, two of India’s foremost young artists, is unusual in that it is a duet with vocal and sitar (lute) instead of the more common duets with two instrumentalists or two vocalists.  Both artists trained with Padmabhusan Giriji Devi and have traveled worldwide with their brilliant renditions of Hindustani (North Indian) music. They are joined by the highly  accomplished tabla  (drums) player Tanmoy Bose, whose many credentials include accompanying Pt. Ravi Shankar and Ud. Amjad Ali Khan.

“the confluence of their expressions of music and perfect harmony left the listeners spellbound”  -The Indian Express

“Sarkar’s sitar playing was sublime and authoritative….Adhikary’s vocals were technically flawless, and he possessed a marvelous quality of expression.”  --Doobeedoobeedoo
