Master violinist/vocalist/composer L. Shankar is renowned for soulful performance of Indian classical music, both Hindustani and Carnatic. In the 1970s Shankar, with John McLaughlin, Zakir Hussain, and Vikku Vinayakram, co-founded the legendary Indo-Jazz group SHAKTI. In the 1980s, he introduced a ten-string double violin capable of covering the orchestra’s string section from violin to double bass. Shankar is accompanied on Tabla by Abhijit Banerjee- a pioneer of cross-genre collaborations, and on Mridangam and Kanjira by Dr. Rohan Krishnamurthy- a leading voice of cross-cultural music in the South Asian diaspora.Read more
