Shubhayu Sen Majumdar, played Raga Malkauns on his Esraj. Through his performance, the diffused their sweet melancholic aroma of blooming flowers at the dead end of the night. Shubhayu produced soothing melodies and mesmerised all, styling meend, bahelawa, murki and speedy yet balanced taan. The artiste prominently produced pukar-ang in his recital that was suggestive of melancholy. Later, he performed a short yet heart-wrenchingly romantic recital on Raga Khamaj.
He was brilliantly accompanied in the tabla by virtuoso Pt Abhijit Banerjee.
