BIKRAM GHOSH----- DRUMS OF INDIA

Описание: Bikram Ghosh is the Indian Percussionist who has been an avid player of musical instruments in the domain of classical music and fusion music. He is the one who is famed due to his experimentation and reinterpretation of music and culture. The music he creates is strongly influenced by the Thumri and Khayal genres of Patiala gharana.
His roots are in Kolkata, West Bengal; his biography reads his father to be the tabla maestro Pandit Shankar Ghosh and classical vocalist, Sanjukta Ghosh. His educational degree started its institutional journey from La Martiniere Calcutta and finally his graduation in English was completed from St. Xavier's College, Kolkata and Masters in English Literature from Jadavpur University. His first tabla guru had been his father Pandit Shankar Ghosh, who had played with Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.
Bikram Ghosh is equally brilliant with the experimental genres as well as traditional music ventures. He has carved out a unique niche for himself amidst the sea of musical talents by mastering the Carnatic percussion. He is fast becoming a household name for fans of Indian classical music. His lightning-fast yet what exposes as extremely unsoiled, spotless drumming mirrors the style of his gharana (music lineage), but it also contains rhythmic elements from other influences. He has performed on fifteen recordings, including the award-winning CD Kirvani, released in 1996. He has played on the album "Full Circle" with Ravi Shankar which was awarded the grammy. For many years, he has accompanied Ravi Shankar as his prime accompanist. He has played with all the stalwarts of Indian Classical music (Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Shiv Kumar Sharma, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Dr. Balamurlikrishna etc) and is widely recognized for his incredible range on the tabla. He is one of the very few tabla players equally at ease in both the Hindusthani and Carnatic Music traditions.
