Shanti (Times Music, 2000)
Abhijit Pohankar is a brilliant Indian keyboardist and composer. On Shanti he creates electronic arrangements and rhythms that generate a mystical atmosphere for the beautiful vocals by Pandit Ajay Pohankar.
Acoustic instruments such as flute, tabla and harps are interweaved with the electronic sounds. The recording has the intention to provide peace and relaxation, but this is not flaky new age. It’s music that has true spirit.Abhijit Pohankar is one of the few professional classical keyboard players in India and a disciple of santoor maestro Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma.
