My Bio Data

CHETAN JOSHI

Chetan Joshi and his golden bamboo flute seem to be so compatible with each other that one loses a meaning without the other. A strong exponent of the purity of the Classicism, Chetan Joshi handles very difficult themes with ease and that tells of his training and rigorous riyaaz that he goes through.
