Gayaki

Gifted with a mellifluous and resonant voice he has a rare and enviable command over his medium of expression. His detailed and flawless manner of bringing out the rare nuances of ragas in the “Vistar” and “Barhat” portion with glimpses of Dhrupad gayaki which he has mastered at a very young age during the talim under his illustrious father. This exquisite swargams and tans with wonderful mix of “Tantrikari” (instrumental style) adopted from Pandit Ravi Shankar punctuated with meticulous “tehais” give an insight of his vigorous training.
