Shashank Subramanyan | Raag Ahir Bhairav
Morning Ragas
•
9m 24s
Recorded on location at Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India.
Raag Ahir Bhairav, Thaat: Bhairav, Samay: Early Morning
A special performance against the Bay of Bengal beach, Shashank perfoms Raag Ahir Bhairav. Born to a biochemist father in the extraordinarily musical village of Rudrapatna, Shashank Subramanyam started learning early in life. He mastered all 72 Melakarta scales by the age of two-and-a-half, prompting a research team to study his prodigious talent. His first musical immersions were with singing and violin, but he fell in love with the venu flute as soon as he picked it up, focusing on it from that point onwards.
Over the past decade he has worked with artists including Paco de Lucia, Terry Riley, and Remember Shakti, and is today recognised as the finest bansuri exponent alive.
