Ghosh holds the rare distinction of being one of the most well-known names in the world of Indo-fusion music.

Having performed the world over with the greatest names in classical music (especially Pt Ravi Shankar with whom he played for over a decade), Ghosh went on to form his hugely successful band Rhythmscape.

“It is only because of the fact that I am able to be a fusion artist or a collaborator or a composer. I have done 24 films so far, 7 in Hindi and the rest in Bangla and I think one in English, it’s all been possible only because of the knowledge that has gone into becoming a classical musician.”

He is now working on a host of new projects including music production and acting for a Hindi film which he calls as an “exciting phase”.

“I am currently scoring for a Hindi movie- ‘Band of Maharajas’, which is directed by Girish Malik. In the movie, I am scoring two songs besides the background score of the film.

I am also acting. I am playing a Middle Eastern percussionist who has a very interesting story line.

“I am part of Maya — an album produced by the Pandit Ravi Shankar foundation which features about 55 musicians from across the globe.”
