Pt. Mohan Shyam Sharma
Pandit Mohan Shyam Sharma is one of the leading Pakhawaj players of India, and a much sought-after accompanist for all the most eminent exponents of Dhrupad, vocal and instrumental indian classical music. Having learnt the Pakhawaj from Pandit Tota Ram Sharma of Mathura, Pandit Mohan Shyam Sharma started his career as an accompanist with the junior Dagar brothers. He has accompanied world famous musicians of other styles as well including Pandit Ravi Shankar, Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia, and Ustad Amjad All Khan.
The specificity of his playing lies in his handling of the techniques of accompaniment. It is marked by his imaginative variations anticipating on the singer's variations while keeping up the required coordination and respecting the mood of the Raga. He has a personality of his own and yet blends in the performance.
