​For Souryadeep, collaboration is not a departure from tradition — it is an extension of it. The sarod has always absorbed influences across its long journey from Central Asia through the Gangetic plains. Taking it into dialogue with jazz, folk, and world music traditions feels like a natural continuation of that story.
