Mandolin U Shrinivas
RASIKA presents the spring 2010 US Tour
The Magical Maestro of Mandolin
RASIKA is proud to announce the Spring 2010 US concert tour of the Mandolin Maestro from South India in an exhilarating and exciting Carnatic music Instrumental concert... Please contact Rasika to arrange his concert in your city. (April-May 2010).
This
site provides comprehensive information about this exceptional prodigal
genius, his audio-video samples and accomplishments.
The virtuosity of Shrinivas on electric mandolin gives this unlikely instrument respectability and credence in high classical music.
As a child prodigy, Shrinivas combined the highly complex Carnatic music of southern India with his own style of modified Western mandolin techniques, producing a dazzling sound that straddles jazz and sophisticated Indian classical music.
Also known as Mandolin Shrinivas (only the greatest of performers are permitted to place the name of their instrument before their own last name), he has singularly elevated the status of this instrument that has only recently became a part of Indian classical music.
Mandolin Shrinivas performs duet with his brother Mandolin U. Rajesh.
