Rajeev Taranath whose music has both great both depth of feeling and substantive classicism. I can’t fathom the reason he isn’t heard in Mumbai unless it is a lack of enthusiasm for presenting those from other parts of India or just a lack of musical curiosity and relish. He is tremendously knowledgeable and plays with a fantastic combination of vocal and instrumental techniques and conceptualization, unlike any we have heard. Perhaps this is because of his early training as a vocalist before becoming Ustad Ali Akbar Khansahib’s disciple. He is tucked away in Mysore but is a rare gem and should be brought out to light for performances in Mumbai without a doubt. We need this substance and deep classicism in our music today more than ever.
