Rucha Jambekar
Rucha Jambekar is an extremely talented and versatile musician blessed with a powerful voice and an incredible range traversing three octaves. She makes extremely difficult vocal techniques seem effortless. She has been learning Hindustani Classical vocals since she was 7 years old and obtained training in Kirana Gharana gayaki in her formative years. She credits her Guru Arati Tai for showing her a world where each ‘Swara’ has a different color and a different interpretation according to the personality of the Raga.
Aditya Phatak
Aditya Phatak is a young student of Indian music, with special aptitude in Tabla. He started playing tabla at the age of two, even before he was tall enough to reach the drums. He was initially inspired by his grandfather Deepak Phatak and guided by his uncle Shivraj Phatak. Since February of 2008, when he was four years old, he came under the loving mentorship of Pt. Samir Chatterjee in the formal Guru-Shishya (master-disciple) relationship. Seven years into his talim (grooming), through utmost sincerity and diligence, Aditya qualified to make his entry into the field of performance. His music is certainly worth listening to. He is also studying Hindustani Classical vocal music with Smt. Rucha Jambhekar.
