Learn more about the music:
Ragam Sarasangi (pronounced sarasāngi) is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 27th melakarta rāgam (parent scale) in the 72 melakarta rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is called Sowrasena in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of Carnatic music.
Raga Sarasangi is the same as Raag Nat Bhairav in the Hindustani raga system.

Purbayan Chatterjee’s accomplished sitar playing is rooted in the Senia Maihar gharana’s blend of Dhrupad and khayal. His style was shaped by his father Pandit Parthapratim Chatterjee, as well as taking great inspiration from the ideas of Pandit Nikhil Banerjee. As a classical artist he has performed with Ustad Zakir Hussain and other leading musicians
He is known for fusion work too, collaborating widely and reworking rock, pop, and jazz classics for the sitar, and has innovated elsewhere, inventing a smaller, more portable sitar that can be played while sitting on a chair rather than the floor. Purbayan continues to develop his classical expertise, while constantly searching for new musical horizons too.
Shashank Subramanyam was born to a biochemist father in the extraordinarily musical village of Rudrapatna, in Karnataka, and started learning early in life - some say he could recognise all 72 Melakarta scales by the age of two-and-a-half. His first musical immersions came with singing and violin, but he fell in love with the venu bamboo flute as soon as he picked it up, focusing on it from that point onwards.
He has incorporated overblowing textures and novel hand positions, and immersed himself into the grammar of Hindustani music too, frequently collaborating with artists from the North, including a jugalbandi with sitarist Pandit Kushal Das for Darbar in 2017. Over the past decade he has worked with artists including Paco de Lucia, Terry Riley, and Remember Shakti, and is today recognised as among the finest bamboo flute exponents to have ever lived.
