MASTER RAKESH CHAURASIA

Rakesh Chaurasia, is the nephew of the famous Indian flute master Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia.

Among the most promising musicians of the second generation of flute players in the Chaurasia family.

Incorporating the tradition of his famous uncle and infusing it with his own personal style, he has evolved a technique that while maintaining the purity of the Bansuri flute manages to capture the attention of even young listeners.

Rakesh's greatness lies in his ability to converse musically with different genres.

His duets with Carnatic music flutists, and his Jugalbandhi with various Indian instrumentalists are very famous; he has recorded several albums of Bhajan devotional music, meditation music, and Reiki music, and has composed several soundtracks for popular Bollywood Movies.

Rakesh has already toured the world many times, captivating audiences in classical and non-classical concerts.

Despite his experimental work, Rakesh has never deviated from his main goal: to become a full-fledged classical musician. He has appeared regularly at major festivals such as the WOMAD festival in Athens, Womad Earthstation in Europe, the “Festivals of India” in Russia, Darbar Festival in London, performed in Japan, the United States and Europe.

His growing maturity and status have brought him invitations to perform as a soloist at major events in India and abroad, including the Saint-Denis Festival in Paris and the Leicester International Music Festival in England. Most notably, Rakesh was invited to conclude BBC Radio's 24-hour live broadcast celebrating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee, reaching audiences around the world.

Rakesh's most recent project is his fusion band Rakesh and Friends (RAF), which creates music that appeals to young people maintaining the essence of classical music.

Recently Rakesh has been touring as a duo for classical concerts and for The Masters of percussion with legendary tabla percussion virtuoso Ustad Zakir Hussain, performing in prestigious theaters globally with international artists such as Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer.

Rakesh was awarded the prestigious Grammy Award in 2024 for the album “As we speak” and the song “Pasthu” co-produced with Ustad Zakir Hussain.
