The percussionists add pizzazz to the performance with rhythmic texture that ranges from colourful, sparse punctuation to driving motives that swell to exhilarating levels during solo passages.

Creator of the Mohan Veena and the winner of the Grammy Award, Vishwa Mohan has mesmerized the world with his pristine pure, delicate yet fiery music.

his alreadyvirtuosic technique to produce improvisations
that pushed open the envelope of his music…”
