Pannalal Ghosh
Pannalal Ghosh was a pioneering Indian flautist widely regarded as the first to bring the bamboo flute, or bansuri, into the realm of Indian classical music as a serious instrument for performance. Born in 1911, Ghosh expanded the size of the traditional folk instrument to make it suitable for classical concerts, creating a deeper, richer tone that could express the nuances of ragas. He was a key figure in shaping modern instrumental Hindustani classical music and worked closely with legends like Allauddin Khan.
In addition to his classical contributions, Pannalal Ghosh composed music for several films during the early days of Indian cinema, bringing his distinctive style to a broader audience. His legacy lives on through recordings, disciples, and the continued popularity of the bansuri in classical and fusion genres alike.
