In conversation with Pt Shivkumar Sharma

Hindustan Times  

With the death of Pt Shivkumar Sharma, we have lost one of our greatest classical musicians. There, he came in contact with great Sufi singers like Mohammed Tibet Baqal, who played this folk instrument called the santoor for their Sufiana mausiqi. My father recognized the potential of classical music in this unknown folk instrument of Kashmir. Yes, but my father had worked hard, doing extensive research and developing this instrument for classical music. Pt Ravi Shankar took me along for the Festival of India in 1968, and I gave solo concerts in 40 cities in the US and Canada and people started recognizing this instrument across the globe.
