Today Hariprasad Chaurasia, the greatest maestro of the bansuri, the bamboo flute, turns 88. We celebrate by sharing our 2018 interview with Pd. Chaurasia conducted at his home/gurukul in Bombay. We also chat with Jay Gandhi, his senior disciple, and an unbelievable musician himself, who shares his insights on the life and music of his guru. WKCR will be playing the music of Hariprasad Chaurasia for 12 continous hours from 6AM-6PM on his birthday (Wednesday July 1, 2026) and Jay and I will be hosting during the noon-3pm slot.
