Sarod sensation, Prattyush Banerjee, speaks about - and shows - his innovative approaches to playing his instrument. The artiste is trying to make the playing of the Sarod more fluent. He's also probably the first musician to play the semi-classical and complex Tappa vocal music on the Sarod. He's also played for the background score of several Hindi and Bangla films, like Piku and Madras Cafe. Prattyush Banerjee is on Art Talk with Jujhar Singh (NewsX channel).
