Debashish Bhattacharya is one of the finest slide guitarists in the world. Born into a family steeped in the hindustani classical music tradition, he took to the slide guitar, quickly emerging as a child prodigy and playing his first AIR concert at the age of four. With a self-developed technique that opened up possibilities that didn't exist on the guitar until then, his subsequent training under Pt Brij Bhushan Kabra and Pt Ajoy Chakraborty developed him into a polished artist. Over the years he has released several commercial albums and has received several awards including the President of India award , The Asiatic Society Gold Medal and the BBC Planet Award for World Music. In addition he was a recent nominee for the Grammy awards
