a few of My favourite MusiC iCons Creating an
iMpaCt worldwide
Oh! There are many..There will be the group “Shakti” formed by John
McLaughlin, L. Shankar, Vikku Vinayakram and Zakir Hussain. They are the
examples of fantastic fusion and collaboration between the cultures. Another
source of inspiration I could name, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Niladri Kumar and
many others.
My MusiCal journey
I started playing guitar at the age of 12. As a flamenco guitar player, I am a self-
taught guitarist. I formed my own flamenco group in 1992, but the career took a
turn, when I started to play with the Indian musicians. Together, we started to
travel the world. So far we have visited thirty countries and five continents with
our music.
Message for My indian friends and MusiC lovers
I am glad to be part of Indian culture by playing with all the Indian artists I had the
privilege to. I am happy that I visited India twelve times and I got addicted to
Indian masalas (spices). I am very happy that Indian audience accepted the
flamenco fire we added to fantastic Indian music.
