(Kanada
Narahari)
Acclaimed Indian classical musician and
Ayurvedic doctor, Kanada Narahari graces the stage at the iZulu Theatre, Sibaya
on July 22, 2018. For this superlative recital, the accomplished sitar player,
who has performed widely in India, Nepal and South Africa, will be accompanied
by veteran South African table player, Sri Rajish Lutchman.
Dr Kanada Narahari (Kanada Raghava) was
born in Manchikeri, a small village in Western Ghats, Karnataka, India, to his
illustrious parents, Vidvan Narahari Keshava Bhat and Sumangala Bhat. His
father Vidvan Narahari Keshava Bhat is a renowned Sanskrit scholar, poet and
author of many works in Sanskrit on theatre plays and Yakshagaana, a form of
traditional performing art. Therefore, it is not surprising that, young Kanada
Narahari would have been exposed to Indian performing arts, music and
literature at very tender age.
When he was nine years old, he enrolled to
study Carnatic classical vocal with Vidushi Shreedevi Aravind. After spending
some years under Vidushiji, he began to develop an interest in Hindustani
Classical music and was particularly attracted to the Sitar. This then began a
new journey.
At the age of 22, he initially spent a year
under Subrahmanya Hegade, he found solace at the feet of his mentor and
teacher, Pundit Sanjeev Korthi. While this incredible journey evolved, Dr
Narahari qualified as an Ayurvedic Doctor with BAMS degrees. This then allowed
him to experiment the healing properties of Indian Classical music and began to
infuse music into his therapeutic practice.
The one night only concert takes place on July
22, 2018. Tickets ranging in price from R100 are available at Computicket and
the Sibaya Box Office.
