Biswabrata
Chakrabarti...
The
musical journey
Biswabrata is the present generation of this great
tradition. He was introduced to classical music by his
grandfather, the legend
Tarapada Chakraborty, in his early
childhood. He started vocal training under his guidance;
later on he was guided by his father,
Pandit Bimalendu
Chakraborty, uncle,
Pandit Manas Chakraborty and aunt,
Srimati Sreela Bandopadhyaya. He also studied tabla under
the guidance of Pandit Basudev Mukherjee a disciple of Ustad
Keramatulla Khan.
In the age of twelve years he was introduced to
Sitar by his
mother, Late Srimati Meena Chakraborty who was a fine
Sitarist and was the student of
Sitarist Pandit Santosh
Bandopadhyaya, the disciple of Ustad Dabir Khan of Seni
Gharana (school).
He took his early lessons from his mother and Santosh
Bandopadhyaya. Later on he started taking lessons from the
Sitarist Pandit Ajoy Sinha Roy, the disciple of legendary
Ustad Allauddin Khan and his son Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.
In this period Biswabrata explored the styles and
applications of these two great
Gharanas (schools). But his
father Pandit Bimalendu Chakrabarty consistently trained him
and played a great role in the formation of this unique
style what he is playing now. He was also deeply inspired by
the experimental approach of his uncle
Pandit Manas
Chakraborty, who's constant
training & guidance is invaluable in his making.
