About the Artists:

V.K. Raman, one of the leading Flautists in Carnatic Music, started learning Flute at the age of 9 from Sri A. V. Prakash, and at the age of 15, started giving full-fledged concerts. Since then Raman has performed in many prestigious organizations in India and overseas.

Enchanting music flows from Raman's flute as he has mastered superb blowing technique by which the tonal quality is at its peak. Connoisseurs have appreciated Raman for his melodic rendition, purity of notes, and unique elucidation of Ragas. Raman has captivated the audiences in a number of India's major music festivals and toured widely in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sri Lanka, and Japan.

Raman has had the privilege of performing flute duets along with his Guru, the great flute maestro Dr.N.Ramani on several occasions. He has also performed Jugalbandhis and Fusion Concerts and has been very successful as a music composer. He has scored music for many Audio / Video Albums, CD's and has released more than 35 CDs through various labels worldwide. He has worked with many musicians including Dr. L.Subramaniam, Louis Banks, Charlie Mariano, Jamey Haddod, Glen Velez (Grammy Award winner).
