Carnatic Flute 101 - A Comprehensive
By Amith Nadig
Carnatic Flute, Mridangam and Beyond
By Manjunath B C ft. Amith Nadig
Join us for an inspiring exchange between ace Carnatic flautist Amith Nadig and the brilliant Mridangam maestro and Konnakol artist BC Manjunath — two artists who not only belong to great musical lineages but continue to redefine tradition for today’s world.
Amith Nadig, internationally acclaimed for his mastery of the Carnatic flute, has mesmerized audiences across the globe with his seamless blend of Carnatic traditions, Hindustani influences, jazz, and fusion. A child prodigy from Karnataka, Amith’s journey reflects deep-rooted classical training fused with bold innovation.
BC Manjunath, an eminent percussionist, is celebrated for his rhythmic genius, having performed worldwide across Indian Classical, World Music, Modern Jazz, and Contemporary Classical platforms. A composer and innovator, he has created unique rhythmic cycles like the Fibonacci Tala and Triangular Numbers Tala, continually pushing rhythmic boundaries.
In this conversation, they explore:
• Their early musical journeys shaped by rich family traditions
• The evolving role of Indian classical music in the global landscape
• Rhythm, melody, innovation, and the joy of collaboration
• Insights into their creative processes, teaching philosophies, and future visions
• Last but not the least, their family roots (they happen to be cousins too)
Expect a heartfelt discussion filled with anecdotes, musical wisdom, and a deep passion for their craft.
