About the Artists:
Arnab Chakrabarty (b. 1980, Bombay, India) has dedicated over 35 years to mastering the sarod, studying with luminaries such as Pandit Buddhadev Dasgupta, Dr. Kalyan Mukherjea, and most recently, Ustad Irfan Muhammad Khan.
Sukhwinder Singh (‘Pinky’), known for his deep, resonant tabla and jori, began his journey in Punjab, immersed in Sikh devotional music. Spotted as a prodigy, he became a disciple of maestro Baba Nihal Singh at age five, after which he honed his craft under the guidance of the legendary Pandit Kishan Maharaj of the Benares gharana.
