BC Manjunath revealed an innate musical talent even as a young boy and he imbibed the best in Carnatic Talavadya from his parents. Later he enlarged this musical perspective by training in Mridanga under Karnataka Kalashree K N Krishna Murthy and Sangeetha Kalanidhi Sri T.K.Murthy.


Manjunath’s creative impulses have flowered in various forms, from classical to fusion and in solo and ensemble performances. He has accompanied many greats from India and abroad, including Sangeetha Kalaratna, Sri R R Keshavamurthy, Sangeetha Kalaratna Sri H P Ramachar, Mysore M Nagaraj and Dr. Mysore M Manjunath (aka Mysore Brothers), Dr. Suma Sudhindra and Chitraveena N Ravikiran. He has also shared the stage with international legends like Kani Karaca (Turkish Sufi singer) and Robin Eubanks (Trombone genius). He has worked with composer Riccardo Nova, members of Bhedam and with the Conservatorium of Amsterdam, The Karnatic Lab Festival, Zagreb Music Biennale, Fabrica Italy, Santander Percussion Festival (Spain), Perth International Festival, Roma Europe Festival, Milano Musica/John Cage Festival, Ictus Ensemble (Belgium), Quintetto Bibiena (Italy) and Het Nederlands Fluit Orkest.

He studied under various gurus, including his grandfather Bibhuti Ranjan (on mandolin), Amaresh Chowdhury (vocal and tabla), and 18 years with Bahadur Khan (sarod). After Bahadur’s death he received instruction from Ali Akbar Khan, a revered figure in 20th century Hindustani classical music, and further refined a complex style that fuses gayaki (lyrical vocal imitation) with tantrakari (intricate instrumental playing). Alongside classical performance he has directed music for several successful films. Hear more of Tejendra here: -Darbari | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aPZ9... “While handling a raga blended out of two or three ragas such as Kausi Kanada, Puriya Kalyan, Shuddh Kalyan, we need to take permission from all ragas concerned, gradually seek entry in their integrated domain; and then get intimate with their persona’s hidden features.” (Tejendra Majumdar) Mysore Manjunath and his brother Mysore Nagaraj are among Carnatic music’s leading violinists. Trined principally by their father S. Mahadevappa, they developed a style which they describe as a “blend of emotive appeal, technical mastery and intellectual sophistication with a strict adherence to the classicism”. They perform in jugalbandi duet settings as well as collaborating with a diverse array of musicians both individually and together. On hearing them play, Ravi Shankar described them as the ‘Princes of Mysore’. Hear more of the Mysore brothers here: -Charukeshi (duet) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8akkf...
