Musicians: - Sanskrati Wahane (sitar) - Prakrati Wahane (santoor) - Yashwant Vaishnav (tabla) Raag Puriya Dhanashree; Thaat: Poorvi; Samay: Late Afternoon Let's journey back in time to Darbar Festival 2022 when we were graced by the exceptional talents of the Wahane Sisters. The Wahane sisters made their first international concert. Sanskrati was discovered on a Facebook video back in 2016 and she left classical connoisseurs in awe. Six years later, she is joined by her sister as they travel from Ujjain, India to London to present their raw yet musical exploration of ragas. Whilst they will be beyond excited to perform on their first international tour, be ready to be transported back to India. They have been trained by their father Lokesh Wahane and are currently being taught by the legendary Ustad Shahid Parvez and Pandit Suresh Talwalkar. Vaishnav, another child prodigy whose breathtaking video when he was aged 9 appeared on YouTube four years ago. Now with 1.2 million views, he has developed into one of India’s finest emerging tabla talents. Hold on to your seats for these three young masters to present raga and tala power and bring the thousand-year form through youthful minds. This Raag occupies very important place among evening melodies. It produces compassion and is emotional in character. It is very close to Raag Purvi, which employs both Madhyams..
