Event: Shankar Tucker [USA]
Genre: jazz, classical
As a clarinetist, Shankar has shared the stage with legendary artists such as Zakir Hussain and Hariprasad Chaurasia, and recorded for music director Pritam Chakraborty. Shankar blends classical Indian music, jazz and popular music to create a unique and original fusion sound, both in solo recordings and with some of the most talented and accomplished young Carnatic and Hindustani vocalists and instrumentalists, including Vidya and Vandana Iyer, Nirali Kartik, Mahesh Vinayakram, B. Sree Sundarkumar, and others. 
Shankar himself plays a wide range of instruments in his recordings: piano, bass, kanjira, tabla, and other percussion instruments. He started to learn classical clarinet at age 10, and earned a scholarship to the New England Conservatory from an appearance on “From the Top”, the nationally syndicated youth radio show. 
The ShrutiBox is the title of an ongoing series of internet music videos composed, recorded, performed and directed by the young american clarinetist and composer Shankar Tucker. The videos have created great excitement recently, garnering over 2 million views and 40,000 fans in only a few months.

Title: Soulful Sundays with Rajasthan Roots
The collective promotes performing arts of Rajasthan by bringing folk to a multicultural platform — creating a new folk blues, funk and electronica - which appeals to various musical tastes and age groups. The group's compositions are reflective of Rajasthan folk through the use of traditional instruments such as the dautara, morchang, khurtal, bhapang, flute, khamaicha, algoza, etc. 
Formed in 2005 by Aditya Bhasin a.k.a Adi Das, the band - under the mentorship of John & Faith Singh, and guidance of anthropologist Vinod Joshi of Jaipur Virasat Foundation - addresses the need to have a contemporary interpretation of folk music. By keeping its essence intact, emphasis was made to introduce warmth and depth - bass, vocal harmonies, effects, etc. to the music, and also to produce the electrifying percussion of Rajasthan into a pulsating groove, thus allowing space for all nuances of the traditional instruments to be heard.  
The collective also works as an interface between the traditional musicians and international artists wanting to collaborate and share cultures.
