My guest today is percussionist Vinay Sharma, known for his musical prowess on the tabla, dhol, and many other drums.Through training under Rupesh Kotecha and the late Pandit Ravi Bellare, Vinay honed his percussion skills, found the spirituality behind music in bhajans and kirtans, and developed a niche for himself within Indian musicianship.

Through the rhythmic beats and melodious tones, Vinay finds solace and a higher sense of purpose, creating an ethereal atmosphere that resonates with both the performers and the listeners.
