Shashank South Indian Bambus flute virtuoso...
Acclaimed by critics world over as a child prodigy, 24 years old Shashank is a celebrity flautist from South India. Beginning his career in Adelaide, Australia, at the age of eleven, Shashank has been a star performer in India and abroad featured often with veteran musicians from South and North India.
Shashank, was barely nine months old when he was initiated to south Indian classical music, even before he started speaking his mother tongue. As advised by Flute Maestro T.R. Mahalingam, he learnt only vocal music from veteran musicians including Palghat K.V. Narayana Swamy. At his six Shashank picked his father's flute and stunned onlookers by playing, spontaneously, to signal his entry into the flute world. His maiden flute concert was at Adelaide, Australia in September 1990 when he was eleven years old.
