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.
