Rakesh Chaurasia
Bansuri-Indian flute
Like Zakir Hussain, Rakesh Chaurasia comes from Indian classical music royalty. His uncle, Pandit Hariprasad Chaursia, is widely considered the greatest bansuri player in India, and Rakesh — who started playing at age five — is deemed his most brilliant student. Not only has he mastered the techniques of Indian classical music, he has developed additional techniques allowing him to venture into other styles of playing, particularly with his crossover band Rakesh and Friends. A composer as well as flautist, he has written and performed on numerous Indian movie soundtracks, and in 2007 was awarded the Indian Music Academy Award.

Chipatti Music.....your favorite ( Grin).
I'm kidding of course! Still, it wasn't awful.
Such a simple instrument, the simple flute so full of nuance , even percussive quality.
The man is a master.
BUt I am listening and thinking of Chipattis instead of pancakes....gotta turn it off ! LOL.
