Fri 9th March

Hari Bhakti Dey has been learning Indian Classical singing since the age of five. When Hari Bhakti was 6 he preformed at the opening of
Pt. Hariprasad Chourasia’s Music school. There on, Haribhakti has performed numerous concerts throughout India as a solo artist and also in company with some very prominent artists such as Hema Malini, Anup Jalota, Minu Purushotam and Anuradha Paudwal.
When Anup Jalota heard him sing he said “This boy has the
causeless mercy of Mother Saraswati and is a new hope for
bhajan sangeet to continue”.

Hari Bhakti has since taken bhajan sangeet to the world stage performing sell-out concerts in Canada and England and is currently performing in Australia.

His pulsating rhythmic play and the cascades of his powerful
lightning swift taans are wonderful. His deep rich and sonorous voice is quite remarkable. His virtuosity, sensitivity, light singing, alaap, slow and fast tempo, and total control of sur and taal have the captivating ability to touch the listeners hearts and soul.
