SOUMITRA LAHIRI - SITAR
Samir Chatterjee - Tabla
SOUMITRA LAHIRI is a sitarist trained in the dhrupad-based Vishnupur Gharana style, and influenced by sitarist Nikhil Banerjee and vocalist Amir Khan. He is an artist willing to step beyond familiar territory and apply his musical vision to ideas from stylistic traditions beyond his own. Soumitra offers a lyrical, leisurely, vocal-style rendition of the morning raga Ahir Lalit, and a waltz-like rendition of a Bhairavi thumri often sung by Bade Ghulam Ali Khan
