With guest: Nachiketa Yakkundi.

We continue our discussion of Kalyan with Sri. Nachiketa Yakkundi, a Hindustani Classical musician and Guru and take a proper look at Yaman, a flagship raga of Kalyan. We discuss famous albeit more atypical renditions of Yaman, and ask the big question: "Where is Kalyan in all of this?" Of course, analyses of Kalyan cannot ever be "complete" - merely put on pause. Naturally, there shall be further explorations of Kalyan in the near future vis-a-vis interview or stand-alone solo video/podcast content. Please stay tuned!

Nachiketa Ji or Nachiji is a Hindustani musician and guru in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has learned from several maestros of this glorious tradition of music, most notably Padma Bhushan Pandit Basavraj Rajguru, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan Saheb, and more recently from Sri. Rajan Parrikar referred to in our episode as Rajan. Concerts, recordings, and a complete artist profile of Nachiji can be found on www.ganapriya.com.

Hosted by Shishir Rao, a DPhil student at the University of Oxford and a student of Hindustani Classical Music.
