Niladri Kumar have long been recognized as a leader in the realm of progressive Indian music. Niladri, who began learning to play sitar at age 4, is the son of Pandit Kartick Kumar, himself a master of the instrument who studied under Ravi Shankar. But the younger Kumar is all about taking the instrument to new places. Zitar is named after Niladri's customized five-string electrified sitar (considerably fewer strings than the instrument's usual 20), which sports a special pickup designed to give the instrument a range of guitar effects. Its sound is at once familiar yet undeniably unexplored.
