Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (Guitar) 
Vishwa Mohan Bhatt has mesmerized the world with his
pristine pure, delicate
yet fiery music. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt is one of the most well known
Indian
musicians today. He has pioneered the use of guitar to play
Hindustani music.
His collaboration with Ry Cooder for the album 'Meeting by the
river' won him a
Grammy Award and international acclaim paralleling that of his guru
Ravi
Shankar. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt was born in 1952, of a musician family
of Jaipur in
north western state of India, Rajasthan.Being the foremost disciple of Pt. Ravi Shankar, Vishwa Mohan belongs to that elite body of musicians which traces its origin to the Mogul emperor Akbar's court musician Tansen and his guru Swami Haridas. It was under the tutelage of Ravi Shankar that Vishwa Mohan Bhatt sought to satisfy his quest of extracting more than just the ordinary from the veena. Thus started the exercise of evolving an instrument, Mohan Veena, which would give him the musical satisfaction he desired. In this concert, his son Salil Bhatt, also on Mohan Veena, and Subrata Bhattacharya on tabla will accompany him |
