RAKESH CHAURASIA the young flautist is making a mark in the musical firmament. This nephew of Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia is a chip off the old block when it comes to playing the flute the classical way. It is natural, considering his tutelage under the maestro.
But Rakesh is also striking notes of his own. Having brought out a few instrumental `fusion' albums, Rakesh is also playing for Hindi films.
His instrumental albums like Harmony and Compassion are ideally suited for long drives as they are soothing. Having participated in `fusion' ventures Rakesh outlines some tips for those who want to participate in such musical rendezvous...
Guru's blessing: This is very important
Confidence: One must have this in order to gel with any kind of music be it fusion or ghazal
Learning: One should learn and exchange notes with other musicians. This interaction depends on the interest the artiste has.
Good health and heart: This is crucial as one has to have the energy to perform, to give hundred per cent to the concert. One must be good hearted and play clean music and not indulge in politics in music.
Practice: Riyaaz (practice) is essential in order to play well.
Knowledge: It is necessary to know the music, nature and views of other musicians one is playing with to produce good music.
