Born in Mumbai in 1957,
Dhruba is the inheritor of the tradition of his masters, his father Pandit Nikhil Ghosh, the famed percussionist and pedagogue, the veteran vocalist-composer Pandit Dinkar Kaikini, and the renowned sarangi maestro Ustad Sagiruddin Khan of the legendary Bundu
Khan style of Delhi.
Dhruba Ghosh is known in India by his performances. His brilliance of technique, composition of performance and mastery of Ragas on Sarangi has labelled him as one of the living masters of this complicated instrument. Dhruba’s creative genius, virtuosic control of this bowed instrument and his innovations in technique and weaving of those new techniques within the fabric of the traditional idiom has made him the outstanding instrumentalist that he is.
