Singer extraordinary - Pandit Chhannulal Misra



I have been listening to Hindustani music for decades and yet did not know of this wonderful musician until today when You Tube introduced me to him.
He is a great ambassador for Banares. He gives a very interesting meaning for the word Banares here. (right click and open a new window).

He says beautifully that Banares is the home of music since the original musician Shiva has made it his home! Also that  "Banaa ras" is their motto.. to make music!

Listen to his music here,
and here too,
and some more!
