Pandit Rupak Kulkarni, who has given this “Maihar Gharana” tradition a brand new flavour with his unique sensuality and creativity. Where others have performed ragas, Rupak has recreated ragas. Where others have played compositions through the flute, Rupak has written compositions through the flute. Where others have reminded us of the sensuality of the Krishna’s instrument, Rupak has proved to us the sensuality of Krishna’s instrument. Rupak is simply an age-old master of music disguised as a much younger artiste.
As a child prodigy with music blown into his breath by his father late Pt. Malhar Rao Kulkarni, Rupak has blossomed under the finest tutelage of flute legend Padma Vibhushan Pt. HARIPRASAD CHAURASIA to become an outstanding exponent of MAIHAR GHARANA. As a first GANDA BANDH Shagird of Pt. Chaurasia since the tender age of 9, Rupak with arduous training and hard work has mastered Dhrupad, Khayal and Tantrakari styles equally well. His recital is always a rare treat combining Dhrupad and Khayal Gayaki, melodious Aalap and scintillating Tatkar (Tonguing technique used for Jhala) innovative improvisation with mesmerising Layakari, superb breath control and dexterous finger work. No wonder his concerts are loved and lauded not only by common music lovers but even by connoisseurs and music maestros such as Pt. RAVISHANKAR and Pt. BHIMSEN JOSHI.
