Hariprasad Chaurasia - Indian Folk - Flute Recital '1968; 2021

Tracks list

Unlike many other great Indian artistes, Pandit Chaurasia does not come from a
family of musicians. Rather, music is a path he found for himself and struggled
very hard to overcome all the hurdles that came his way to emerge successful
with his sheer grit, sincerity, hard work, devotion and dedication. Born on July
1st, 1938 in Allahabad, he began his musical pursuit at the age of 15, learning
classical vocal technique from Pandit Rajaram. Within a year, however, he had
switched to flute playing, after hearing Pandit Bholanath, a noted flautist from
Varanasi. He tutored under Pandit Bholanath for eight years. In 1957, barely out
of his teens, he became regular staff artiste of All India Radio, Cuttack in
Orissa, where he worked as performer as well as a composer. From hereon began
his musical journey that took him all over the globe.
