During a conversation, Chandrasekhar Kambar talks about his friendship of a lifetime with Rajeev Taranath, and how it created a meeting point between literature and music. In North Karnataka, there was deep reverence for Pandit Taranath (Rajeev’s father), who was a well-known doctor. When I wrote Chakori, I was thinking of how Rajeev went to Calcutta and all the hardships he experienced there. In folk culture, the values we create and live by, the relationships with literature, music, art are all interwoven with the fabric of everyday life. Rajeev Taranath and Chandrasekhar Kambar recently shared the stage during 91st birthday celebrations of the sarod exponent at Ravindra Kalakshetra in Bengaluru.
