Anubrata Chatterjee
Son of the world-renowned tabla maestro, Pt.
Anindo Chatterjee, Anubrata Chatterjee was
nurtured from a very tender age to be a tabla
player. He had the rare fortune of being the
youngest and the last "Ganda-Bandh" disciple of
the great guru, Padmabhushan - Deshkottam Jnan
Prakash Ghosh in 1992. Subsequently, Anubrata
continued his training under the gifted tutelage
of his father.
He made his debut as an accompanying artist with
the legendary Pt.Hari Prasad Chaurasia and since
then, has gone on to successfully accompany living
legends of Indian Classical Music such as Ustad
Amjad Ali Khan, Ustad Rais Khan, Pt.Shiv Kumar
Sharma, Ustad Shahid Parvez, Sh. T.H.Vikku
Vinayakram, and other respected musicians all over
the world. Anubrata has proved himself both
as a soloist and as an accompanist, by his
consummate tabla renditions. He has also given
numerous memorable duet performances along with
his father. Taking the ‘parampara’ forward, he has
built upon his father’s style and expanded his own
repertoire to display an amalgamation of power,
grace, skill, and superb tonal clarity.
Internationally, he marked his debut with a solo
performance at the B.B.C. World Radio, U.K. in the
year 1991. Since then he has performed world over
the world at vairous prestigious Music
Festivals. In a very memorable performance
in Paris, Anubrata accompanied Ustab Amjad Ali
Khan along with France’s National symphony
orchestra called the 'Orchestre National d'lle de
France. And, in the year 2012, he also had the
privilege to perform for the then-P.M. Dr.Manmohan
Singh at Grand Hyaat, Mumbai.
Taking after his father, Anubrata gives great
importance to imparting quality training to his
students. He holds regular workshops in New York
at the Anindo Chatterjee School of Tabla. And in
the past, has conducted numerous workshops in
Japan, making many students to undertake advanced
training under him.
While being deeply rooted in the traditional style
of playing, Anubrata also understands the need for
his art to be contemporary. He actively
collaborates on projects that are traditional yet
new age, which especially strike a chord with the
youth. Based on this thought, he formed a unique
percussion group named Taal- India wherein every
region of the country was represented by a
percussion instrument.
He has also been a part of various fusion bands
such as String-Struck etc, and has had the
opportunity to share a stage with prominent
artists such as Shankar Mahadevan, Ranjit Barot,
Rahim al Haj (a renowned Oud player from Iraq).
Currently, Anubrata is associated with an
innovative musical movement – Classicool, in the
capacity of Lead Percussionist. The movement also
involves leading musicians of the next generation
such as Sh.Purbayan Chatterjee, Sh.Rakesh
Chaurasia, Gino Banks etc.
