Soul to Soul - Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia in Jugalbandi with Rahul Sharma, live-in-concert 25 June 2017 at the Zuiderstrandtheater in The Hague. Relive this extraordinary jugalbandi concert featuring Living legend Pandit Chaurasia (bansuri), Rahul Sharma (santoor), Bhavani Shankar (pakhawaj), Vijay Ghate (tabla), Rohini Sahajpal (tanpura).
Together with Rasique Music School Rotterdam, DesiYUP organized the biggest Indian jugalbandi classical concert in 2017 with the legendary Padma Vibhusan Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. Our wish was to recreate the magic of the Call of The Valley albums produced by the masters Shiv-Hari. But in the last week before the concert we heard that Pandit Shivkumar Sharma was unable to perform for us due to serious health problems.
We received a doctor’s report stating that Pandit Sharma was not allowed to travel abroad for a good six weeks. With only one week prior to the concert we only had two options; the first option was to cancel this concert and wait for the recovery of Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, but this matter was so fragile and the prospects weren’t looking that great that we decided to come up with a solid alternative.
The second option was to request Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia to perform this jugalbandi concert with the son of Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, Rahul Sharma, since he learned to play santoor from his father. Now, this concert became an example of the strong guru-shisya-parampara within the Indian classical music tradition. Knowledge is passed down from one generation to the other. And in this concert Rahul Sharma was the only possible replacement for his father.
