Raga Sarasangi

As the sun rises over the ocean waves, maestro Shashank Subramanyan performs a meditative and sublime awakening of Raga Sarasangi - a total immersion in nature and just how music should be experienced.

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.
