Buddhadev Das Gupta is the senior most exponent of one of the most authentic sarod gharanas today. He is a true genius with numerous achievements and one of the best known cultural ambassadors of our country.

His unique musical personality that has shaped a distinctive style, completely his own. A deep understanding of the raga, a rare accuracy of the swaras, a superb balance between a gayaki and tantrakari, together with powerful bol patterns and fluent ekhara taans, of which he has been a pioneer, mark his music. Pandit Buddhadev Das Gupta’s style represents a modern synthesis of the rebabiya and beenkar styles. A hallmark of Pandit Buddhadev Das Gupta is his architectural formal organization.
