Last year DesiYUP collaborated with Darbar, Sandeep Virdee and curated an Indian concert with Debasmita Bhattacharya (sarod) and Gurdain Singh Rayatt (tabla) for the annual Holland-India music festival in de Nieuwe Kerk in Den Haag.
Art in its mysticity is experienced in different forms all over the world. It is said that the culture of a place is directly reflected in the classical forms of its art. Indian music has an abundant, unbroken heritage that has been gathered for centuries together through its oral traditions. The origins of Indian classical music can be traced back to spirituality.
On a sultry Sunday evening, we decide to visit Pandit Hariprasad Charausia’s gurukul. Tucked in a corner in the Mumbai suburbs, we enter his school to be greeted with the melodic notes of the bansuri.
Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia talks in this vlog with DesiYUP founder Mahesvari about his concert with Pandit Shivkumar Sharma.
The two icons of North-Indian classical music are sharing the stage in Holland for the first time on the 25th of June in Zuiderstrandtheater in The Hague. Panditji tells why this concert is so unique.
