UMASHANKAR emerged from the same traditions as his older brother Selvaganesh. A disciple of their father, "Vikku" Vinayakram, he began his performance career at the age of ten. Since then, he has performed with leading Carnatic, Western, and North Indian musicians.
Playing the Ghatam alongside his father for the past three years, Uma Shankar has toured the world and released numerous CDs.External links to a rare PICTURE of the Vinayakram brothers playing with their father "Vikku" [photo Avinash Pasricha] and the SRUTI MAGAZINE WEBPAGE that contains it |
