His experimental style incorporates ideas from early sarod training and his mother’s Patiala vocal gharana, and he also draws inspiration from Carnatic percussion through detailed study with mridangam maestro S. Sekhar. He has accompanied Ali Akbar Khan and Ravi Shankar, and played with his cousin Swapan Chaudhuri, but often looks outside classical music too. Having grown up in a house full of global drums, fusion was a natural step. Collaborators have included George Harrison, Sufi musicians, and the Mezcal Jazz Unit, and his new-age Rhythmscape group continues into its second decade. He has also scored over 25 films, with his soundtrack for Jal earning him an Oscar nomination. Outside of music he completed a Masters degree in English Literature, and has acted as a brand ambassador for the Indian Election Commission, promoting democratic engagement in West Bengal.

All the drums for this band, maybe 50 or 60 different kinds, used to be in our house and as a kid I played around with anything and everything. That experience gave me a wider perspective” (Bickram Ghosh) The video is part of ‘Musical Wonders of India’ curated by Darbar and the V&A Museum in London.
