The Five Elements — A Slide Guitar by Debasis Chakraborty

At KalaFestival 2023 in Maidenhead, UK, music met the soul of nature in a breathtaking performance featuring the legendary Pt. Debasis Chakraborty on Indian Slide Guitar.

Blending ancient ragas with deep elemental themes, this unique ensemble explored earth, water, fire, air, and the universe through sound. Each note resonated with purpose, energy, and connection to the natural world.

Pt. Debasis Chakraborty brought an ethereal quality to his performance — weaving traditional Hindustani techniques with expressive slides and sustained melodies that felt both meditative and electrifying.

On Piano, Mr. Deepak Shah created harmonic landscapes that complemented the ragas, adding cinematic textures and Western classical depth to the experience.

Dr. Lovely Sharma on Sitar added spiritual grace, connecting the past with the present, layering melodic threads over the deep groove of rhythm.

Mr. Durjay Bhaumik on Tabla anchored the performance with intricate beats and dynamic tempo shifts — echoing the rhythm of the universe.

Together, they formed a sonic representation of the Pancha Mahabhutas — the Five Great Elements — inviting the audience on a transcendent journey. This wasn’t just music — it was a feeling. A celebration of nature,
