"Pandit (master) Debashish Bhattacharya is one of the worlds most remarkable slide guitarists" Songlines
One of the worlds most Outstanding Guitarists, Child prodigy Debashish Bhattacharya now bears the title pandit, the accolade that bestows great status upon musicians of the Hindustani classical cannon.
A lifetime’s study has yielded a stunning command of the complex melodic and rhythmic systems of this thousand year old tradition, creating music of great beauty and lyricism.
Remarkably he’s achieved it on an instrument of his own design, the Chaturangui, a deeply resonant twenty-two string guitar that bears some resemblance to the slide guitars of Hawaii. Nor is he the only musician in the family; he is joined here by his brother Subashish Bhattacharya, providing virtuoso accompaniment on the tablas.
