Pandit Prateek Chaudhuri, of the famed Senia gharana, says he is just following a tradition known for its purity of music. A musician evolves and establishes an identity. His voice or the musical instrument he plays acquires a definitive identity, a musical footprint. This is exactly what separates Pandit Prateek Chaudhuri from the rest of the young generation of sitar players. Listen to him once and you will be able to identify his music from a whole lot of noise.
