Rishabh Dhar & Fingerprints: Introduction
"Rishabh Dhar's band FINGERPRINTS" was launched in 2009. Fingerprints is the brainchild of renowned percussionist, innovator & composer Rishabh Dhar. Using a unique ensemble of instruments and an equally diverse influence of music from across the world, Fingerprints has traveled across the globe playing their exotic music. Fingerprints boasts a wide variety of music catering to a large range of audiences across the globe. Often described as a world music fusion ensemble, Fingerprints fuses—with much élan—the royal pakhawaj and the classical tabla, the dhak and dhol, and African drums to Latino rhythms and then creates music based on Western Classical, Rock, Blues, Latin, Folk, and Indian classical music. Since 2009, Fingerprints has done more than 500 events across India & abroad. Apart from live performances, Fingerprints has composed music for many known festivals (Ananda Utsav (London, New Jersey), Bangla Sangeet Purashkar, Harbourfront Music Festival (Toronto)).
Fingerprints made their first directorial debut as a music director for the Mega Series "Swangsiddha" for ETV Bangla television channel in 2012 in India.

Rishabh Dhar (Pakhawaj, Ghatam, Derbuka, Cajon & Konnakol), Gopal Das (Dhak, Bangla Dhol, Saxophone, Clarinet, Keyboards), Someshwar on Guitar, Tamal on Drums & vocalist (optional).
An unique blend of mixing different cultures with Indian Classical Music. Fingerprints' compositions are all based on different Indian Classical ragas with a touch of Western Classical, Jazz, Afro & Latin music. We use many ancient instruments from India like a Pakhawaj, which is the oldest north Indian Classical Drum & mainly being used with Dhrupad Music from Ancient India. Apart from Pakhawaj, Tabla, Dhak, Bangla Dhol, Ghatam, Kanjira, Derbuka, Djembe & Cajon, we use about 25 different percussion instruments in our music. We use a lot of mantras & Sanskrit verses (Slokas) in our compositions mixed with the ancient vocal percussion technique Konnakol (from South India). For further details, please check the attachment.
