Pandit Bhavani Shankar – Taal Tilwaara

Prasad — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 17:46:01 +0000

Pandit Bhawani Shankar is the most well known Pakhawaj player in the world today. He is also an accomplished tabla player.

The name ‘pakhawaj’ originates from the two words, paksha meaning side and baaj meaning to play. Together, pakshvadya became Pakhawaj, meaning an instrument, which is played from both sides.

Bhawani Shankar should be given the credit for exposing Pakhawaj to the world stage outside of the traditional Dhrupad performamces. He teamed up with Ustad Zakir Hussain in his percussion ensemble, Zakir Hussain and the Rhythm Experience. Their world tours have been highly successful, giving a great deal of exposure to Pakhawaj as an instrument. [Excerpts from Tabla.co.za Click here to read more]

For all those who love Hindustani Classical music in all its forms, here is a Pakhawaj solo by Pandit Bhavani Shankar in Taal Tilwaara. Lehra performed on Sarangi.
