Hariprasad Chaurasia (born in 1938) trained first as a vocalist under Pt. Rajaram. After hearing flute played by Pt. Bholanath he decided to made bansuri his only instrument.
He received training also from Anapurna Devi, the wife of Pandit Ravi Shankar and the daughter Ustad Allaudin Khan, founder of the Maihar gharana.
Hari Prasad Chaurasia, with his mystic flute playing has sent the whole world into a melodic trance. There would be hardly any folks with such magical divine spirit of his kind of music.
Chaurasiaji has pefomred all around the globe, with almost every Indian & foreign instrumentalists. He has also contributed his music in Fusion. Hari Prasad chaurasia is surely an Indian icon.
