Born in 1963 to musically inclined parents, Debashish Bhattacharya was a prodigy of Indian music, pickings up the guitar in its newest incarnations as an Indian classical instrument. Playing for All India Radio by years four-spot, Bhattacharya highly-developed his personal style o'er the adjacent 20 years or so, studying under the father of Indian classical guitar, Brij Bhushan Kabra, as substantially as singer Ajoy Chakrabarty and Ali Akbar Khan. He was minded the President of India honour in 1984 at the age of 21. From here, he went on to work development the Hawaiian sliding board guitar into a more Indian tool, adding chikaris and sympathetic string section, and eventually advent out with a 24-string tool based on the one-time Hawaiian six-string. This is universally regarded as the highest form of the glide guitar's development anywhere, making Bhattacharya one of the masters of the musical instrument, especially when considering his awful abilities in playing Indian forms on it. Since gaining his renown, he's worked on a phone number of guitar tours and multicultural projects, almost notably with John McLaughlin's Shakti and a number of projects with chute guitar master Bob Brozman. In 2003 Bhattacharya released Mahima with Brozman, fusing Hawaiian and Indian music.
