Ashwin Batish is an extraordinary sitarist and tabla player. He received training in the North Indian classical tradition from his father Pandit Shiv Dayal Batish and later created his own unique fusion of Indian
classical sitar with pop, rock, jazz, calypso, funk... an example of a
few hybrids he excels at. He is famous for such songs as the Bombay
Boogie, Raga Rock, Raga Jazz, Casbah Shuffle and Sitar Mania. His
pioneering efforts in Worldbeat music has earned him critical reviews
and great respect in the music community. The sitar is ageless in
Ashwin's hands. It is souped up for amplification and effects! We hope
you get to catch one of Ashwin's electric performances. His music is as
dynamic as his stage presence. Ashwin is presently touring California with his son Keshav Batish and his sister Meena Batish.
