HIDDEN DRUMMERS of INDIA is a documentary that goes off the beaten track to explore the world of Carnatic rhythm, and in particular India’s most awesome drum, the Kanjira!
I spent several weeks traveling through the southern states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu where I met with the most incredible players and immersed myself in the Carnatic tradition to make this film. I hope you enjoy my journey into this captivating art form.
The documentary features many outstanding musicians, listed below in order of appearance:
Sunaad Anoor
Sachin Prakash
Anoor R Ananthakrishna Sharma
Ghatam Giridhar Udupa
Lalitha Ram
Shree Murugandam
Lata Ramachar
Shree Sundar Kumar
Anirudh Athreya
Harihara Sharma
🥁 I’m Ruairi Glasheen, and I’m a percussionist, composer and filmmaker based in London.
