LOKESH ANAND (SHEHNAI PLAYER)

Lokesh Anand is perhaps one of the veterans and maestros of shehnai who began the study of this divine instrument (Shehnai) from his childhood. This prodigy started his training at a tender age of 8 Years under his father Shri Kalicharan, & from Pandit Anand Lal, Daya Shankar learning basic techniques giving him a unique recognition. Lokesh further developed vocal nuances by becoming a disciple of Sangeet Martand Pandit Jasraj, of the “Mewati Gharana”, who became a major reason in influencing & amplifying his techniques. Through the journey, he transformed himself into an exceptional Shehnai Artist, by mastering both Instrumental and Vocal Styles, having a spectacular command over his techniques. His playing comprises clean and mature aspects of a balanced musician who reciprocates accordingly and who can communicate through his Shehnai.
Lokesh has not only built his unique style which holds a strong traditional approach but, he has also been an inspiration for many budding Shehnai Artists.
