Pandit Kumar Lal Mishra, tabla
Classical Indian Music in absolute perfection.
Pandit Shivanth Mishra, Lecturer and Head of the Music Department at the Sanskrit University of Benares, is a master of the sitar.
Deobrat Mishra, the son of Pandit Shivanth, was honoured as India's best sitar players award of the year 1995.
In the year 2000 he received SurMani ( Jewels of sound) award in Mumbay -- India.
Pandit Kumar Lal Mishra, the son of Pandit Samta Prasad Mishra, is a known tabla artist and he accompanied other famous sitar players like Pandit Ravi Shankar.
The vocal basis is characteristic of classical indian music, the instrument music following the example of the human voice.
This meditational music lives from improvisation, nethertheless rising to a peak of excitement and tension.
Using the sitar, an instrument steeped in the tradition of 2000 years, these musicans evoke a mood of rapt inner contemplation which quickly casts its spell over audiences. Please visit www.music-of-benares.com

awesome, absolutely inspirational for me, I've been playing tabla for only 4 months and although I'm mostly studying the Delhi style the expressiveness and soul of Benares really touches my heart.
