#darbarfestival | North meets South in this performance, as two modern masters seamlessly trade mellifluous lines over a dual-drum lineup of tabla and mridangam.

Learn more about the music:
Born to a biochemist father in the extraordinarily musical village of Rudrapatna, Shashank Subramanyam started learning early in life. He mastered all 72 Melakarta scales by the age of two-and-a-half, prompting a research team to study his prodigious talent. His first musical immersions were with singing and violin, but he fell in love with the venu flute as soon as he picked it up, focusing on it from that point onwards.

Initially he taught himself, but soon entered the gurukul as a student of legendary flute maestro T.R. Mahalingam. His guru insisted that he should continue his vocal training, and avoid listening to other top masters of the day in order to develop his own style. The approach worked, and his tireless study led to the creation of new forms of gamaka and breathing techniques. He has incorporated overblowing and novel hand positions, and immersed himself into the grammar of Hindustani music too, frequently collaborating with artists from the North. Over the past decade he has worked with artists including Paco de Lucia, Terry Riley, and Remember Shakti, and is today recognised as the finest venu exponent alive.

Purbayan Chatterjee’s accomplished sitar playing is rooted in the Senia Maihar gharana’s blend of dhrupad and khayal. His style was shaped by his father Parthapratim Chatterjee, as well as taking great inspiration from the ideas of Nikhil Banerjee. As a classical artist he has performed with Zakir Hussain and other leading musicians.

Today he is known for fusion work as well as traditional performance, collaborating widely and reworking rock and pop classics for the sitar. His style incorporates the chromaticism of jazz, and he has innovated elsewhere too, inventing the DWO - a smaller, more portable sitar that can be played while sitting on a chair rather than the floor. Purbayan continues to play Hindustani classical while also searching for new musical horizons.

We'd like to upload everything for free - but filming, editing, and hosting cost money, and we’re a small not-for-profit organisation. Signing up to the Darbar Player costs about the same as a couple of coffees a month ($5), which we hope is an excellent price for such a wealth of unique music.
