Rahul Sharma - Dawn Blues - Raga Bhoopal Todi '2021

Tracks list

The mountainous region of Kashmir was where Rahul Sharmas lineage with music
evolved. His grandfather, Uma Dutt Sharma, was a master of the santoor, an
instrument that is similar to the hammer-dulcimer. The harsh tone of the
instrument made it fell out of line with folk music as well as classical music,
but Uma Dutt Sharma persisted. His father, Shivkumar Sharma mastered the
instrument by experimenting with various striking positions and tones. As
Shivkumars status rose in the musical circles of Kashmir, word of his
performances grew over borders and continents. Shivkumars son, Rahul Sharma
continued the tradition of the instrument. Rahul Sharma was always in love with
music, often singing at an early age and playing the harmonium. Learning the
santoor at age 13, the child wasnt completely sure of pursuing music until he
turned 17. After studying economics at Bombays Mithibai College, Rahul Sharma
began performing with his father. In September 2000, Real World Records released
Music of the Himalayas, a live performance in Turin featuring Sharma,
percussionist Pandi Bhawani Shankar and tabla player Ustad Shafat Ahmed Khan.
The musician has performed in North America and throughout Europe. He has also
performed at various folk and world music festivals, including WOMAD. ~ Jason
