R.D. Burman's team to engage music buffs in Kolkata


Kolkata, March 1 (IANS): In a special tribute to legendary music composer R.D. Burman, the musicians who were part of the maestro's ensemble will engage the public here next month, in a demonstration of the musical instruments used in Burman's songs.

Christened 'Vintage Pancham' (after Burman's nickname) the gala musical evening will see percussionist Homi Mullan and the multifaceted Buji Lord (acoustic drums, xylophone, ghungroo) explain the reasons behind using specific combinations of instruments for a particular song.

Buji Lord played on the soundtracks of "Yaadon Ki Baaraat", "Jawani Diwani" and "Hare Rama Hare Krishna".
