One World, Part 2 Talvin Singh – Tabla; Rakesh Chaurasia – Bamboo flute [Bansuri] Rakesh Chaurasia, one of the foremost flute players of his generationhas also performed with Talvin Singh. But the opportunity of doing this kind of one-to-one recital with Talvin Singh was one that he welcomed eagerly. There were no rehearsals, and once the Ragas were chosen, the recording was done in a spontaneous, improvised way in a London studio. Talvin Singh born 1970 in Leytonstone, east London is an accomplished Tabla player, electronic musician, music theorist, record producer and DJ. As a solo artist, he is perhaps best known as the father of modern Asian electronica music, though he is also a highly celebrated tabla player, record producer and visual practitioner. Drawing inspiration from the classical Indian arts, Singh first came to prominence as tabla percussionist in the 1980s London music scene. Whilst still in his mid teens, Singh traveled to India to earn pupilage from Acharya Pandit Laxman Singh, master tabla maestro of the Punjab school. This period made an indelible mark on the young artist and he has since continued to practice and perform the art form internationally. Singhs collaborations with Indian classical musicians include Ustad Sultan Khan, Rakesh Churasia, Ustad Imrat Khan and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan amongst scores of others. source: www.myspace.com A famous name attached to this musician; young Rakesh is the nephew and child prodigy of flute maestro Pt …
