With Jagarini and Pyar
Jagarini trembles and moves with his voice since childhood. He drew inspiration from different traditional sources (Buddhism, shamanism, Hinduism) and from improvisation. From the age of 20, he discovered meditation techniques and the value of mantras, as well as the impact of sound on humans. Jagarini regularly hosts Kirtan singing circles with the public.
Pyar has long been interested in music and spirituality. He was able to immerse himself in the world of Indian classical music. He gained solid knowledge of Banaras Gharana’s solo repertoire. He also had the opportunity to perform with various artists, in India and in Europe. Since early 2016, Pyar has continued his internship in Europe, guided by Pandit Sanju Sahai, a direct descendant of Pandit Ram Sahai, the current torchbearer of Banaras Gharana. He collaborates on various artistic projects and also gives private and group lessons in tabla and polyrhythm.
