Udhav Shinde, one of India's top percussionists, has been playing the pakhawaj drum since the age of five, under the guidance of his father, Padmashree Shankar Bapu Apegaonkar. Raised in the Varkari Samprodaya, the musical tradition of the poet saints of Maharashtra, Udhav experienced the richness and power of spiritual music at an early age. He performs as a soloist at India's major music festivals, including the Dhrupad Mela in Varanassi, the Sharanghev Samaroh in Delhi and the Asia Pacific Conference in Pune. As accompanist, he works with many acclaimed Indian and international instrumentalists and vocalists. He was recently appointed Senior Guru for pakhawaj by the Indian Government at the Dhrupad Institution in Ambejogai Maharashtra. During his interational tours, Udhav is always well received for his warmth, exuberance and mastery.
