Rakesh Chaurasia is the nephew and disciple of the legendary flautist Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. Adept at playing the popular and folk music, he is equally at home in the Indian classical genre. Despite constant demands by the "Bollywood" industry for his services towards film and stage music, he has not shied away from his ambition to carve a niche for himself in the Indian classical genre. Over the last few years, he has increasingly accompanied Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia on the international classical stage that has helped to hone his skills further. Now, slowly emerging from the shadows of his illustrious uncle, from whom he has imbibed not only the generosity of spirit and humility but total dedication to his craft, he showcases his skills in this first-ever classical album.

Pravin Godkhindi accompanied by Kousic Sen on Tabla at the London International Arts Festival 2013 produced by Dhruv Arts. Pravin is a gifted Bansuri (Bamboo Flute) player from India. Bamboo Flute or the Bansuri is an instrument which creates mesmerizing effects on the minds of human beings. There are legends about Lord KRISHNA's power in attracting people and animals alike through his blissful, melodious tunes 1which flowed from his Bansuri. Pravin comes from a family of 3 generations of flautists and is one of the most sought after and prolific flautists from India. Pandit Venkatesh Godkhindi, the senior most flautist of Karnataka, aged 69, has been performing for the past 40 years and is the guru for his son with the youngest of the three, Master Shadaj Godkhindi, aged 8 yrs, is Pravin's son. His father has taught him BANSURI in KIRANA GHARAANA GAYAKI STYLE. But Pravin added the GATKAARI or TANTRAKAARI STYLE by his own efforts and has mastered the technique. He is adept in both the styles. Sonorous blowing, control over the breath, elaborations of Raga with its aesthetic appeal, extraordinary and skillful rendition of Layakaari are but a few salient features of his flute recital. He has been ably balancing both traditional and creative music. Western classical, Jazz and Carnatic classical also have favourably influenced him. He is also a composer, a vocalist, an actor & a tabla artiste.
