Slow Joe. Asian Dub Foundation. Susheela Raman. Dhols of Jaipur. Raghunath Manet. Debashish Bhattacharya. O Shakuntala! With a Grammy nomination and BBC World Music Award under his belt, Indian slide-guitarist Pandit (master) Debashish Bhattacharya’s remarkable virtuosity is winning international critical acclaim. O Shakuntala! Is a sublime interpretation of the immortal Indian masterpiece of eternal love and features three slide guitars designed and developed by Debashish himself. A musical adventure fusing two great Indian musical traditions – Karnatic music from the south and Hindustani music from the north – it celebrates love in all its many wonderful rasas (emotions).

O Shakuntala! O Shakuntala! One of the world’s greatest slide guitarists, Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya plays his self-designed ‘Trinity of Guitars’ on this album. Performing alongside Debashish are his brother Subhasis, a master tabla player, and India’s only female pakhawaj and mridangam artists. Together they weave a musical journey reflecting the tale of beauty and immortal love in this legendary Indian masterpiece. Zakir Hussain.
