veenas , which is actually guitars. Since
1979 all the development in Indian slide
guitars has been either observed or implied
by the other contemporary guitarists of
India, though many of them at that time
has not even decided, if they will ever
play Indian ragas on Guitar, Debashish
Bhattacharya as a teenager has
become the pathfinder and the trend setter
for of all those guitarists and x-Veena

Chaturangui - In India 'Chatu' means 4(four), and 'Ang' means attribute. Chaturangui means a Guitar with additional blend of four tones. This is a 22 stringed first hollow neck Indian Classical Guitar. It blends the tone of Rudra Veena, Sarode, Sitar and Violin. All the Classical guitars of Debashish have Front Chikari and are being played by index finger and not with the thumb. There is one Western version of this guitar and one Indian model. All the recordings available and done before 2002, are made on Chaturangui. Previously it was known as Hindustani Slide guitar." This is the first hollow neck Classical Guitar made out of solid wood. The idea developed in my mind from the structure and tone of the weissenborn I play. This has enhanced the depth in tonality and provided a better blend of treble and Bass". |

Anandi - The third is the slide form of an Ukulele. After a serious raga rendition Debashish has been often asked by audiences in his country and abroad for a lighter form of music. For their entertainment here is the exotic tonal variety to cast a cathartic effect. Indian Raga music rises from the earth, attains classical form while passing through the cultured grammar and again returns to the mother Earth to find Moksha or Nirvana. All the Indian art forms have this as their ultimate goal. Anandi signifies that " Eternal Joy of Music ". |
