I recently attended a wedding reception in Toronto at the Pearson Convention Center.  Everything at the wedding was simply gorgeous, so many intricate details, the stunning colours, the presentation…but what really blew me away was the ambiance created by the musicians that night.  As we entered the hall everyone commented on the music and how ‘real or live’ it sounded even though the DJ was playing it…but as we approched the stage we received a wonderful surprise.  The Bride & Groom had arranged a special treat for all their guests - They had live classical music…but this wasn’t just any ordinary live background music…These were Traditional Indian Musicians playing the Tabla and the Sitar.   We had the fortune of enjoying the night with Prosad and his Tabla companion’s beautiful music.

All night long everyone kept complementing the wonderful tunes of the Sitar and Tabla - so I decided to head over to the musicians myself  and of course take my camera along. I was casually clicking away when I realized that they had their CDs there for people to purchase.  I picked up their CDs and I don’t know what came over me next but I decided to ask Prosad if I could use his music to complement my Photography online.

Prosad was extremely humble and sincere and of course obliged. We exchanged a few words and ideas and then I headed back to my table super happy & super excited. 

Prosad, I feel honoured in using your music and look forward to working with you in the future.

So anyone out there looking for some musicians for your weddings, you know who to call! You will have nothing but good things to say after!

The song used in the ‘Portfolio’ section is called ‘Raag Malkosh’ and is one of Prosad’s pieces. 

Have a look at some of the shots I got of them.
