Rakesh Chaurasia & Shahbaz Hussain

Double Grammy winning Indian flautist, Rakesh Chaurasia, has created a playing style that is instantly recognisable and richly emotive. The bansuri (bamboo flute) player embraces the modern alongside his devotion to Indian classical music and his growing status has led to performances across the world, wowing those new to the instrument and fans of Indian traditional music alike. With just his breath and a deceptively simple piece of hollow bamboo, his highly dextrous and subtle playing possesses a rare beauty and balance of strength and serenity. Rakesh is joined by one of the most accomplished tabla virtuosos of his generation, Shahbaz Hussain.
