Today is the Birth Anniversaries of the two finest Sitarist of India, Late Pandit Nikhil Banerjee (14 October 1931 – 27 January 1986) & Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan Saheb (October 14, 1960). Paying my sincere tribute to Pt. Nikhil Banerjee by posting one of his Live Performance at Amsterdam where he played Raag Hemant. https://youtube/watch?v=EYANBYj5hXo I wish Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan, who is one of the finest Sitar Virtuoso of illustrious Etawah Gharana, many more years of power packed performance. I am so much influenced by his style of playing, sometime I am able to identify him by the very first stroke of Mizrab. Here I celebrate his 54th Birthday by posting a full length performance of my favorite Raag Darbari Kanada, on the tabla Pt. Anindo Chatterjee of Farrukhabad Gharana offers a finest possible accompaniment. https://youtube/watch?v=cb6kvPdQPSY
