Prasana Concert at UVM

Friends of Indian Music and Dance opens their 2006-2007 concert series on November 4, 2006 at 7:00pm by Carnatic/Fusion Electric Guitarist, Prasanna with Lakshman Mahadevan on the mridangam at the Recital Hall at UVM’s Redstone Campus. In a world studded with brilliant guitarists, “Prasanna plays like nobody on the planet,” according to one jazz critic. As a guitarist and composer, Prasanna's prolific body or work is as diverse as it is integrated. This includes over eleven Carnatic albums, the just released Carnatic/Rock Jimi Hendrix tribute album “Electric Ganesha Land,” a highly acclaimed Jazz Fusion album “Be the Change” featuring several Grammy Award winning artists from the jazz world, an eclectic solo guitar album “Peaceful,” and many more. As a true artist, Prasanna is both a traditionalist and modernist and everything in between.
