Bikram Singh (Bansuri
flute) and Manish Vyas (tabla and Santoor), two of today's
most brilliant emerging performers of Indian classical
music, have harmonized their musical talents to form the
group Mandala.
Bikram Singh,
skilled with a solid technical foundation of classical
Bansuri flute, effortlessly weaves grace and fluidity with
articulate precision. He has infused his own unique style
with the varied influences of many different teachers and
his loving and gentle presence that the listener is always
touched and inspired by. Bikram has also been Shastro's
flute teacher in India.
Manish Vyas
started in his early childhood to study Indian classical
music as a tabla player under the late tabla Maestro Ustad
Ala Rakha. After beautifully mastering this instrument he
started learning santoor, vocals as well as a variety of
western musical instruments. His musical expertise and
sensitivity has been playing a critical role in many of Prem
Joshua's albums such as Dance of Shakti. The two have
co-produced the album Water Down the Ganges. Manish is also
the author of 6 albums of his own with the Indian label
Oorja Music. |
