How we met:
When we began meeting musicians in Varadayapalem, India–only a short 2 hour drive from Chennai, we quickly discovered Venkat’s reputation as a percussion master. After learning about the project, he was excited to become a part of it, and has since performed on many of our Songs Around The World.
