These dynamic musicians have performed alongside Ravi Shankar, Nitin Sawhney, Anoushka Shankar, Bickram Ghosh, Talvin Singh, Susheela Raman, Akram Khan to name a few. The second half features Banerjee, a unique musician who has been successfully multi-tasking as performer, music arranger, composer, researcher and instrument designer. The sarod (lute) is notoriously difficult to play in tune due to its fretless nature - unless of course it is in the hands of this great prodigious young maestro. Accompanying him is one of the UK’s most exhilarating young tabla maestros, Rayatt, from a strong tabla lineage.
