  Shashank Indian traditional percussion group (INDIA)
 
  Shashank, born on Oct. 14, 1978, was barely nine months old when he was initiated to south Indian classical music, even before he started speaking his mother tongue.

Some land mark concerts of his have been Rashtrapathi Bhavan(The President's Palace at New Delhi), Kennedy Center, Washington D.C., J. Paul Getty Hall, Hollywood, National Acamedy of sciences, Washington D.C.

Shashnk's performances feature an extraordinary range of musical expression - from the deepest meditations to youthful fun and astonishing virtuosity. Audiences respond enthusiastically to his flair and unpretentious style. His percussionists add pizzazz to the performances with rhythmic texture that range from colorful, spare punctuation to driving motives that swell to exhilarating levels during solo passages. He has 29 CD albums to his credits apart from two DVDs of his live concerts.
