His grandfather, Bimal Chandra Das, was a renowned esraj player and his father, Sailen Das, and uncle, Santanu Das, were highly reputed sitar players. Pandit Kushal Das continued his training under Pandit Ajoy Sinha Roy, Pandit Manas Chakraborty, Pandit Ramkrishna Basu and Pandit Sanjoy Banerjee. A profound knowledge of music and raga improvisation marks Pandit Kushol Das’ music.

Pandit Kushal Das has participated in numerous music festivals in India and has toured the world. He is a Guru of the Bengal Parampara Sangeetalay in Dhaka. As Pandit Kushal Das picked up the notes of Raga Parameshwari (created by maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar), the nuances of the elaboration and the beautiful gat filled the air in 2014, at the Bengal Classical Music Festival. Pandit Yogesh Samsi proved his musical prowess once again, with a fabulous accompaniment on the tabla.

A wonderful Jugalbandi of Sitar performance by Pandit Kushal Das and his son Kalyanjit Das attracted a large number of music lovers at the dead of night. They performed alap, jor and jhala set on Raga Jogkauns. The music was superbly complemented by tabla virtuosos Pt. Subhankar Banerjee.
