A Jugalbandi between Zakir Hussain and Shivshankar Sharma at a late night concert in late 90s is etched forever in my memory like it's yesterday. That experience was quite enthralling. Really saddening to know that Pt Shivashankar Sharma is no more...

Om Shanti Om Sadgati

(Dear 2022 no more sad news please)

Om Shanti! Prabu swarlin aatma ko shanti pradan karen!


Truly legend, Gave Santoor a pride of place in instrument plethora!

RIP sir
One of their first LPs which I still cherish.

A very nice LP. Released somewhere around 1967, my copy, though fairly worn, still brings me peace and contentment.

R.I.P. Pt. Shivkumar Sharma.
Never again we will see such Indian classical performers who dedicated their life to music. I had previlege of brief encounter with him*. Absolute gentleman with radiant personality. And very humble too..
Media coverage is very disheartening.

* shared in the forum few years ago.

Media coverage is very disheartening.

Very true. Media is more interested in the coverage of glamour where a common cold or cough of film stars precedes more in importance than the death of true artists.
