He moves through rich musical environment from traditional to classical via jazz with Breton, Malian, Polish, Brazilian and Arabic musicians and dancers.
Giridhar Udupa ventured into the world of Carnatic music learning all the traditional percussion instruments. Muthu Kumar is a tabla player and percussionist from Bengaluru.
