Vikas Yendluri - "Didi"
It is always refreshing to come across young talent in the field of Indian Classical music and dance. Today we feature Shri Vikas Yendluri, a young and upcoming artist from Northern California. Vikas has been a disciple of renowned tabla master, Ustad Arshad Syed for the last fourteen years. Vikas is currently a sophomore at Stanford. I had an opportunity to see him play live and was astonished at his riyaz and tayari. Definitely an artist to watch out in the future. Its the young generation like Vikas that carry, on their capable shoulders this long and ancient tradition, giving it a modern perspective and global appeal. Do you know any such young talents let us know and we will feature them on Kathakars.

Kathak and Flamenco- fusion
I came across this video on YouTube and had to share it with my readers. What is Unique about this video is that both the dancers have maintained the authenticity of their respective dance styles. They have managed to beautifully bring this both distinct styles of dancing together. The julgalbandhi piece in the end is amazing.The styles compliment each other well. Love to see more of such work.
