Born to musician parents RHITOM SARKAR, a child prodigy, was initiated into Indian classical music, but when he picked up a guitar, he was mesmerized by its ability to glide. The highly innovative mind of Rhitom restlessly searched the ways and means to incorporate all the finer nuances of Indian music on his guitar.

At the age of nine, he began learning guitar under Pt. Debashish Bhattacharya and continued for ten years. He learned under Mr. Debotosh Dey, Guitarist of AIR and had advanced training with Pt. Shyamal Chatterjee (sitarist), a disciple of Late Ustad Dabir Khan Sahib, and Pt. Ravi Shankar. He received taleem from Tabla maestro Subhankar Banerjee and Pt. Samar Saha. Rhitom attended a special appreciation class with Pt. Ajoy Chakroborty (vocal) and Pt. Budhadeb Dasgupta (sarod). He also received taleem in incorporating Classical Music in Spanish (Western) Guitar under the guidance of music composer-director Sri Madhu Mukherjee.

Rhitom’s specialties include performing uncommon Ragas and Talas, incorporating elements of Spanish Guitar into Indian classical music, and creating a meditative effect stimulating the chakras. 

DANI EKBOTE was raised in the tradition of the Ajarada Gharana under the guidance of his father, Shri Hemant Ekbote. From the age of ten until adulthood, he was a regular attendee of Ustad Zakir Hussain’s invite-only tabla workshop, where he refined his craft. He is now a disciple of legendary Tabla Maestro Pandit Yogesh Samsi. His performance career has taken him across the world, from India, Canada, Panama and many more. He explores the intersection of tradition and innovation, collaborating with contemporary jazz artists as well.
