V. Selvaganesh is the current percussionist with Shakti, and son of one of the founder members (T.H. Vikku Vinayakram). He has also been in the bands of Zakir Hussain (ex-Shakti) and Jonas Hellborg. On this debut CD as leader he is joined by special guest John McLoughlin, Indian mandolin virtuoso U. Shrinivas, his father T.H.V.V., plus Zakir Hussain and a list of other top Indian musicians.

On “Soukha” (Spirituality) he plays a variety of Indian percussion, especially the ‘kanjeera’ - a small ringed Indian tambourine with small cymbals; and ‘gatham’, a large red clay drum, and ‘konakol’ - vocal percussion. With these simple instruments, Selvaganesh creates a world of subtle rhythmic variations, underpinning the wealth of virtuoso talent present on each track.
