Filmed and recorded live at England’s premier venue - The Curve Theatre, Leicester - this performance is part of the 533 Souls Festival. Curated exclusively with UK-based musicians. Eeshar Singh is an emerging santoor player from the heart of West Yorkshire in the UK. Since 7, he has studied under Ustad Harjinderpal Matharu, a senior disciple of Pandit Shivkumar Sharma. He has aptly imbibed his guru’s sparkling approach to Indian classical music through the development of rhythmic and melodic improvisation. In this performance, he plays Raag Bhimpalasi, a late afternoon melody derived from Kafi. Accompanying him on the tabla is Gurdain Rayatt, an extraordinary talent who comes from a family steeped in music. Rayatt’s years of solid training and sadhana (immersive practice) is evident in the ease and smoothness of his execution and the rich content of his music.
