Dear Madam/Sir.
Hope this email finds you well. I work for the management of Udai & Group. If you are unfamiliar with Udai & Group please allow me to introduce them to you.
Udai is a well recognized India tabla player, music producer and composer. Udai studied the art of tabla accompaniment with the legend Ravi Shankar. He lived with him in his house in Delhi for ten years and learnt the music . Later on, he accompanied him on tabla in his concerts in India and abroad. One of the very important concert were concert at prince Charles house on his birthday, concert in Sweden when Ravi Shinkar got the poler prize together with Ray Charles. He also accompanied him on tabla with Zakir Hussain on Ravi Shankar's 75th birth anniversary in New Delhi.

She has been performing for past couple of years in India and abroad presenting classical Kathak repertoire and also theme based dance projects such as Geet Govind, Red, Monsoon Dance, Kathak & Amour, Soulful Sufi.
